12 September 2001, 18:45 Eichel says economic impact of US attacks 'very limited'
BERLIN (AFX) - German Finance Minister Hans Eichel said that the
economic effects of yesterday's terrorist attacks in the US will be
"very limited."
There is no reason to expect a crisis, given the contact between
finance ministers and bank governers of the G7 nations, Eichel said at
a press conference in Berlin.
Following yesterday's attacks the financial markets responded
"reasonably," he said.
"We should ask ourselves two questions: do we have the will and the
capacity to organise ourselves (against terrorism) and can we count on
the self-discipline of the markets? The answer to both questions is
yes," he added.
