Breakfast

World leaders have all embraced the outcome of the G20 summit over the weekend. Big government spending and interest rate cuts have been endorsed as the key to shoring up the global economy, which is teetering on the brink of recession. The G20 also called for a greater role for bodies such as the International Monetary Fund in crisis management, and for reform of the international financial architecture.
