BEIJING, Aug. 4 (Xinhuanet) -- The Greek debt crisis and a series of economic issues of world concern have posed great challenges to the “2-percent growth" goal set by the G20 Leaders' Summit last year, said a Beijing-based think tank researcher during an exclusive interview with Xinhuanet lately.
He Weiwen, senior fellow, and former Economic and Commercial Counselor at the Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco and New York, made the point during the interview on the sidelines of the Global Governance and Open Economy: 2015 G20 Think Tank Summit in Beijing.
Under such a situation, he suggested, the euro zone needs to pursue an "inclusive growth", as is promoted at the summit and because Greece's economic growth will be a solution to the debt crisis.
On further investment in infrastructure and technology and making it account for a greater proportion of GDP growth, he said, "history proves large-scale investment to be the starting point of economic recovery."
He stressed that "supportive and forward-looking factors to promote growth" are in need while the G20 members should work together to find new ways, new mechanism of collaborative development.
