ROME, July 3 (Reuters) - Leaders of the Group of Eight rich
powers should give an upbeat message on economic prospects when
they meet in Italy next week, Italian Prime Minister and G8
President Silvio Berlusconi said on Friday.
"In my opinion the worst that was going to happen has
already happened," Berlusconi told reporters ahead of the July
8-10 meeting, saying that leaders should do their best to
improve the morale of worried consumers.
"I don't think there are any alternative proposals, to get
out of the crisis, than (waging) war against fear," he said. "In
any case if there are any other suggestions to build a better
future then we are here to listen to them."
The leaders of the United States, Japan, Germany, France,
Britain, Italy, Canada and Russia, together with those of major
emerging economies, will meet in the central Italian town of
L'Aquila.
