Lew Cites U.S. Economy in Call for Europe to Spur Growth

Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew said he will press his European counterparts at a Group of 20 meeting to spur growth, citing the U.S. economy as an example of a successful recovery.

“Europe does need to look at what it can do to get the engine of growth moving again,” Lew said in an interview yesterday in Washington with Bloomberg Television’s Peter Cook. “The world needs Europe to grow.”
