G20 to focus on jobs growth, central bank stimulus
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Central bank governors and finance ministers from the Group of 20 largest economies gather for a two-day summit in Moscow today. They are expected to discuss the current situation of the global economy, employment growth and financial regulation reforms.
The issue of central bank policies could also be high on the meeting agenda. Bank of Japan's aggressive easing might be discussed, as well as the US Federal Reserve's stimulus tapering plans. According to a communiqué from Russia however, no criticism of these measures should be made.
The G20 representatives will also continue their talks on the main objective of the G20 Russian presidency in 2013, namely the issue of financing for investment, which “is a key precondition for economic growth and a principal factor for job creation.”
