Bessent says G20 ministers want higher economic growth

​U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott ‌Bessent said ​on Tuesday that achieving higher economic ‌growth and non-market economies with "big imbalances" were among the main topics discussed at ‌the G20 finance ministers' summit in ‌Asheville, North Carolina, this week.

"I think the two big messages here are everyone ⁠wants ​to ⁠be pro-growth, will they take the measures that ⁠it needs ... and then the other ​thing we've been talking about too ⁠are imbalances, and we're seeing a lot ⁠of ​non-market economies with these big imbalances that are sucking growth ⁠from the rest of the world," Bessent ⁠told ⁠reporters at the summit.
