Feb. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Group of Seven finance ministers pledged to maintain the flow of stimulus into their economies even as investors focus on mounting budget deficits.

“The position for most countries is to support the economies now and get the budget deficit down as the economy recovers,” U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling, 56, said in an interview in Iqaluit, Canada last night. “You will see a determination from the G-7 countries to do just that.”

Governments are trying to spur expansion by spending at a time when investors are increasingly shunning countries with rising debt burdens. The MSCI World Index of stocks fell to its lowest since October this week amid worries that Greece and some other European nations may default.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of “The Black Swan” and a principal at Universal Investments LP in Santa Monica, California, said Feb. 4 that “every single human being” should bet U.S. Treasury bonds will decline, while Pacific Investment Management Co. calls U.K. government bonds “a must to avoid.”
