The G20 nations vowed Saturday to turn away from austerity and step up growth and job creation, as their two-day meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors drew to a close in Moscow. "The global economy remains too weak and its recovery is still fragile and uneven. Unemployment remains excessively high in many countries," the Group of 20 leading economies said in their communique. "Strengthening growth and creating jobs remain our priority," it was quoted as saying by DPA. "We have asked for concrete national strategies" to combat joblessness, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble told reporters following the meeting.
