Finance officials from the Group of Eight industrialized nations have agreed to ask the International Monetary Fund to study ways to unwind hefty stimulus packages once an economic recovery is certain. In a communique released at the end of a two-day meeting here on Saturday, the group notes «increased signs of stabilization in our economies.» But ministers also stressed their commitment to provide any more stimulus the economy needs _ as long as it does not threaten to spur inflation or push state budgets further into deficit, according to a report of Associated Press. Ministers were divided over how to unwind the stimulus, with the U.S., Britain and France warning against premature steps. Saturday's talks will set the agenda for a July meeting of G-8 state leaders in L'Aquila, central Italy.
