Statement by the G8, G5 and Egypt on Promoting the Global Agenda
Meeting in the G8 plus G5 countries plus Egypt format, the Heads of State and Government have approved the global agenda: new rules for the economy and the finance market, a resumption of the granting of credit, getting the Doha talks back off the ground and a strong joint drive to help the poor countries.
In their agreed statement, the Leaders renew their pledge to work together to achieve a global recovery that will also be “green,” resting on sound, lasting foundations for “sustainable, balanced, inclusive” growth.
The need to embark on the Global Legal Standard road to a finance market with tougher rules and watchdog bodies is accompanied by the need to begin drawing up an “exit strategy” out of the extraordinary measures adopted to counter the crisis.
