Finance ministers and central bankers from G7 nations declared their preparedness early Tuesday to put their policy options to use amid heightened concern about the global coronavirus outbreak.

"Given the potential impacts of COVID-19 on global growth, we reaffirm our commitment to use all appropriate policy tools to achieve strong, sustainable growth and safeguard against downside risks," the group said in a statement.

"Alongside strengthening efforts to expand health services, G7 finance ministers are ready to take actions, including fiscal measures where appropriate, to aid in the response to the virus and support the economy during this phase."

Expectations for stimulus helped fuel a dramatic market surge Monday after Bloomberg News first reported the call would take place Tuesday.

However, the statement stopped short of announcing immediate additional monetary stimulus.

"G7 central banks will continue to fulfill their mandates, thus supporting price stability and economic growth while maintaining the resilience of the financial system," according to the statement.
