While the global economy was not at a critical stage,
uncertainty was rising and the G7 leaders were expected to
promote a combination of monetary, fiscal and structural
policies to spur growth in their communique, the sources, who
were not authorized to speak to the media, said.
"Uncertainty is rising. We are going to (discuss) downside risks
to the global economy," one of the two sources told Reuters on
condition of anonymity.
The G7 groups Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and
the United States.
With Britain and Germany resisting calls for fiscal stimulus,
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is set to urge the G7 leaders
to adopt a flexible fiscal policy, taking into account each
country's own situation, the sources said.
The G7 leaders were also expected to reaffirm their previous
commitment to stability in the foreign exchange market, they
said.
