UK Ready to Commit Extra $11bn to IMF

Share Print 0

Alistair Darling the UK’s Central Banker spoke ahead of the G20 meeting touching on the subject brought up in the last summit where all nations agreed to add extra support to the International Monetary Fund to face the current economic crisis around the globe:

Mr Darling, who was writing in the UK’s Guardian newspaper ahead of this weekend’s G20 meeting of finance ministers, said Britain would continue to lead international action both in response to the financial crisis and to help secure the recovery.

In April at the London G20 summit, world leaders agreed to triple the IMF’s resources to $750bn to help emerging market and low income countries cope with the financial crisis.

Mr Darling said that ministers would step up their efforts to secure the economic recovery and repair the world’s “failed” financial system at their meeting, which starts on Friday.
