European Leaders Temper Finance Reform Rhetoric | Europe | Deutsche Welle | 16.11.2008
European leaders said the emergency finance summit in Washington was a success, even though the resulting action plan was less drastic than some of their original suggestions.

The measures agreed to at the meeting include a call for beefing up regulation of the world's financial system, bolstering government spending to spur economic growth and reforming international financial institutions.

 

"We are determined to enhance our cooperation and work together to restore global growth and achieve needed reforms in the world's financial systems," said the Group of 20 (G20) leaders, which included the world's advanced economies as well as the leading emerging economies. The G20 represents 85 percent of the global economy.
