In a separate briefing on Friday, People's Bank of China Governor Pan Gongsheng claimed that supply chains have been disrupted by trade disputes and economic fragmentation, which had weakened the pace of global economic growth.

The World's leading economies should increase their involvement in international macroeconomic and financial policy coordination; pan also said the summit, which was held on Wednesday and Thursday. The significant increase in risks to global growth from trade tensions, tighter financing conditions, and long-term structural challenges was also flagged by other participants at the finance ministers and central bank governors meeting, according to the PBOC statement.

A call for strengthening dialogue and policy coordination was also made, the statement said without referring to the United States.
