Leaders from the Group of 20 (G20) countries agreed here on Friday to maintain their measures to support economic activity until recovery is fully assured.

The growth of the global economy and the success of various countries' coordinated effort to respond to the recent crisis have increased the case for more sustained and systematic international cooperation, said a Leaders' Statement issued after the conclusion of the third G20 summit, held in Pittsburgh on Thursday and Friday.

"In the short-run, we must continue to implement our stimulus programs to support economic activity until recovery clearly has taken hold," the statement said.
