WASHINGTON, April 22 (Reuters) - The Group of 24 emerging and developing countries on Thursday called on advanced economies to get their fiscal house in order to sustain the recovery.

The G24 said advanced countries should "maintain policies to support the economic recovery while building confidence in the sustainability of their public finances by announcing credible consolidation plans, to be implemented as soon as the recovery takes hold."
