Sep. 3--Clamping down on the financial sources of terrorists, expanding Asian bond markets and supporting small business development will lead the agenda for Apec finance ministers at this week's summit on the southern resort island of Phuket.

Among the leaders attending are US Treasury Secretary John Snow, Japanese Finance Minister Masajuro Shiokawa and Chinese Vice Finance Minister Xiang Huaicheng.

The 21-member Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (Apec) group will release a joint ministerial statement on Friday, which will discuss overall economic conditions for the region, with projected growth this year of 3.8 percent, on par with last year.
