The group of 20 rich countries say the economic outlook has improved since they last met in April but warn new COVID-19 variants could threaten the recovery.
"We reaffirm our resolve to use all available policy tools for as long as required to address the adverse consequences of COVID-19," said the final statement by G20 finance ministers and central bankers meeting in Venice on Saturday.
As expected, the group endorsed a global deal on corporate taxation agreed this month by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development envisaging a corporate tax rate of at least 15 per cent.
It also said for the first time that carbon pricing could be part of the policy mix for tackling climate change.
