G20 finance talks to end without joint communique, say officials

BALI: A two-day meeting of G20 finance ministers in Indonesia is expected to end on Saturday without a joint communique, two officials said, after Russia's war in Ukraine overshadowed proceedings.

In place of a formal communique will be a statement by Indonesia, which holds the G20 presidency, said one official who spoke on condition of anonymity. "It is important that we remain focused on what we have planned to achieve this year, as this will also send a positive message to the global community on the G20's role and efforts to support global recovery," Warjiyo said.

The Kremlin instead blames subsequent Western sanctions for blocked food shipments and rising energy prices.
