Dollar's strength will be topic of discussions: Jacob Lew
Istanbul
TREASURY Secretary Jacob Lew said the strength of the dollar will be discussed among Group of 20 finance ministers meeting in Turkey this week and the growing US economy still needs to produce higher wages for workers.
"We're getting some benefit now from oil prices in terms of the economy getting a bit of a boost on top of that," Mr Lew said in an interview on Sunday in Washington, with excerpts airing on Monday on CNBC. "So I'm feeling pretty confident that we're looking at a good period ahead."
