London, Nov 5 (AFP) Bolstering the world economic
recovery and crafting a deal to fight climate change will be
top of the agenda for G20 finance ministers meeting tomorrow
in Scotland.
Ministers plus central bankers from the 20 richest and
fastest-emerging economies will hold their third get-together
this year over two days in St Andrews, a seaside town known as
the home of golf.
Now that countries like the US, Japan, Germany and France
have emerged from recession after last year's global financial
crisis, the G20's focus has switched from disaster management
to building a secure economic future.
World leaders at September's Pittsburgh G20 summit had
agreed a new system to coordinate economic decision-making and
encourage stable, long-term growth.
A key priority this weekend will be working out details
of how this mutual assessment system will work, G20 officials
said, speaking on condition of anonymity. - (Agencies)
