Treasury's Jack Lew to Call on Other Nations to Boost Growth

U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew will urge countries to "use all
available policy tools" to boost global growth, a top Treasury
official told reporters Monday in a statement outlining the
secretary's trip to a conference of the International Monetary Fund
and the World Bank in Peru this week.
The official's comments suggest the U.S. is hoping to get more
countries to implement the necessary fiscal and monetary policies
that could re-energize the global economy, which has fallen into
the doldrums falling the drop in commodity prices and a slowdown in
China.
"Global growth has fallen short," he said. "We need to redouble
our efforts to boost global demand rather than relying on the
United States as the consumer of last resort."
That could come in the form of infrastructure investments, he
added.
The official also praised the efforts of Chinese government to
get its currency, the yuan or renminbi, accepted as a global
reserve currency by the IMF.
"We have seen over the last few months the Chinese take some
steps" toward making the currency more open and transparent, he
said. "A stronger currency will support a rebalancing of the
Chinese economy away from externally-led and externally-dependent
growth into more consumption-oriented and domestically-led demand
growth."
He said the U.S. would support the yuan's addition as a global
reserve currency if China satisfies the IMF's conditions for
inclusion.
