The G-20 and IMF should play more active roles
political will to resist creeping protectionism appears to be under increasing pressure. Commitments made by G20 [Group of 20 most influential nations] members to roll back restrictions have not been met. In fact, the number of export restrictions has continued to increase.
The new company would accelerate the integration of Europe's capital markets, and serve as the vanguard for the implementation of European Union and G20 regulatory reforms
This book is a timely piece that is offering quite a bit of analysis and perspective on the G20 ... I think it's an important piece for anybody who is interested in observing change happening ... from the grassroots.
If I felt it was a decent request by the IMF, then, of course, I would be willing to go to Parliament and make that request ... But let me be very clear, I would not do that with Britain acting alone, like other big G20 countries, and we are very clear this is not a substitute for eurozone providing mon...
Amid a gloomy global economic outlook, the IMF will focus its attention on potential risks in large, interconnected financial sectors including some G-20 countries, such as Australia, Brazil, and Japan
Everyone wants to host the G20 obviously, but when you look realistically at the ACT we are not yet in a position to offer the required services on a range of fronts
The G-20 summit went by almost unnoticed. Just read the conclusions – they’re nothing like the solutions the world is calling for, that the world needs to deal with the great crisis of international capitalism

I inherited, as chancellor, the largest budget deficit in the G-20. And we’ve taken a series of steps, increased some taxes, consumption taxes, had some cuts in public expenditure, which have put us on a path to eliminate the deficit in a period of four years.

But now, to be honest, some countries have very difficult fiscal situations, and there is limited room to adjust monet...
Mexico, as member of the G-20, will be more than willing to collaborate and offer resources to support a greater range of action
Canada is key for China because Canada has access to all the secrets of the big guys — G8, G20, NATO, NORAD. Name it and we have access to it
I don’t expect any announcement to help the IMF because this is a matter for the next G-20 ministerial meeting scheduled for February
This is one of the discussions we’ve had repeatedly at the G-20 the last couple of years, the need to coordinate actions like that.
What we saw at the G20, in my mind, is we saw that there were two riots: There was the Black Bloc riot and then there was the Blue Bloc riot

We ... agreed to rapidly explore an increase of the IMF through bilateral loans following the mandate from the G20 Cannes so that the IMF could adequately match the firepower of the EFSF and co-operate even more closely with it
We agreed to rapidly explore an increase of the resources of the IMF through bilateral loans, following the mandate from the G20 Cannes summit, so that the IMF could adequately match the new firepower of the EFSF and cooperate even more closely

As an Indigenous man, it is my responsibility to continue to use my voice to speak the truth and to contribute to the cause of justice and freedom for all peoples. While criminalizing voices of dissent is part of the ongoing post-G20 crackdown, the repression of Indigenous resistance is part of the ongo...
