Swedish Finance Minister Anders Borg said it's in the interests of all major global economies to boost the International Monetary Fund's anti-crisis resources, Dow Jones Newswire reported Friday.

"At the end of the day, it's in the interest of all the countries, whether we're talking about the...BRICs [Brazil, Russia, India and China], U.S. or Europe, to reach a resolution" on boosting IMF resources, he told reporters on his way into a meeting of European finance ministers.

Euro-zone finance ministers later announced they had reached an agreement to lift the currency bloc's capacity for crisis lending to EUR700 billion, the newswire said.
