ISE-SHIMA, Japan, May 26 (Reuters) - Risks to the global
economy remain despite signs of stable growth, German Chancellor
Angela Merkel said on Thursday, adding that low commodity prices
were a problem for many countries.
"The world economy is showing signs of stable growth, but
there are risks," Merkel said in Japan where Group of Seven
leaders are meeting.
Turning her attention to European Union sanctions on Russia
over its actions in Ukraine, Merkel said it was too early to
talk about lifting the punitive measures.
