WASHINGTON -- Global leaders showed a united front against the financial crisis at an emergency summit here Saturday, but offered mostly promises of future cooperation to nudge the world out of its economic funk.
But the group, which met for less than six hours in the National Building Museum, left most of the tough decisions to future meetings.

But the gathering in Washington of the nearly two dozen nations -- from every region of the world -- reflected the new balance of power emerging in the aftermath of a financial crisis that has devastated even well-run economies, a wrenching process that British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has dubbed "the birth pangs of this new global order."

Without naming the US, the leaders concluded that ”policymakers, regulators and supervisors, in some advanced countries, did not adequately appreciate and address the risks building up in the financial markets”.
The agreement represented a partial victory for European leaders who arrived in Washington with a range of proposals to tighten market regulations amid the most serious financial turmoil since the Great Depression.

G20 to back global tax cuts
http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/economics/article5162500.ece
LEADERS of the G20 countries meeting in Washington last night endorsed a plan for worldwide action to boost the global economy through tax cuts, higher public spending and lower interest rates.
They also signalled a determination to press on with the completion of the Doha world trade round by the end of the year. But they put off work on a new global financial architecture, including co-ordinated cross-border regulation of financial institutions and an enhanced role for the International Monetary Fund, until next year.
