G7 ministers seek formula to ease economic concerns

AFP, Boca Raton. Florida
The world's top financial policymakers struggled to find a formula to address European demands for currency market stability despite evident US satisfaction with a steadily sliding dollar.
Group of Seven finance ministers and central bank governors from Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States worked to produce a statement Saturday likely to highlight improving global economic prospects.
But the officials tried to refine a message on volatile currency markets in an effort to show a united front on economic policies.
Given sharp divergences in the priorities held by the United States, the 12-nation eurozone and Japan, forging a consensus that sends an unequivocal message to the markets may prove difficult if not impossible, analysts have warned.
"Every country wants a weaker
currency and they can't all get what they want," said Greg Anderson, senior currency strategist with ABN Amro, in Chicago.
"I'm betting on no change to the (G7) statement," said David Gilmore, analyst at Foreign Exchange Analytics.
"Europe has the power to affect the exchange rate with a rate cut, which the US would welcome. And calling for stable exchange rates or a sentence protesting excessive volatility smacks of manipulation, which (Washington) finds repugnant."
While Japan is also worried about the weak dollar, Japanese authorities have pledged they will continue to intervene in the markets to curb the yen's rise - a strategy that has forced the euro to bear the brunt of the dollar's fall.
Officials debated the code words "flexibility" signaling satisfaction with a falling dollar, and "stability" suggesting officials want to brake the dollar's decline.
Japanese Finance Minister Sadakazu Tanigaki, deflecting questions about Tokyo's position, told reporters here, "let's see how the discusssion develops."
A European source close to the discussions, which opened Friday with a series of bilateral sessions, also remained noncommital.
"The discussions are continuing," the source said, without elaborating.
The talks take place as eurozone financial and business leaders are worried that the appreciating euro -up about 22 percent in the past year against the dollar - will make their exports more expensive and less competitive and thereby endanger a fragile economic recovery in the region.
In the past month they have repeatedly gone public with their discomfort, culminating.
