G7 focuses Japan’s crisis

 The world's leading economies will hold an emergency meeting on the threats to the economy of Japan's mounting crisis, the French finance minister said.

The meeting of U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and the finance ministers and central bankers of the other Group of Seven industrial nations will seek to support Japan's crisis response -- including a possible purchase of Japanese bonds to keep money flowing, French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde told reporters after the weekly French Cabinet meeting in Paris.
