G20-mailta rahoja IMF:lle ja muita lopputuloksia

G20-maiden kokous on päättynyt Cannesissa. Kokouksen julkistamiin suurisuuntaisiin suunnitelmiin kuuluvat kasvun voimistaminen ja maailmantalouden vakauttaminen, kertoo BBC.
Ranskan presidentti Nicolas Sarkozy kertoi, että kokouksessa G20-mailta tulee lisää rahaa IMF:lle. Tarkemmista järjestelyistä sovitaan helmikuussa.
Aiemmin uutisoitiin, ettei G20-mailta tule rahaa Euroopan hätärahasto ERVV:hen. Iso-Britannian pääministeri David Cameron kertoi kuitenkin toista.
”On sovittu tuesta euroalueelle ja IMF:lle. Ongelma ei ole, etteikö sopimusta olisi vaan, että kaikista yksityiskohdista ei olla vielä sovittu”, Cameron sanoi.
Cameronin mukaan on ”luottamukselle ja talouden vakauttamiselle välttämätöntä”, että IMF saa tarvittavat varat, mutta hän vahvisti ettei Iso-Britannia avusta euroalueen hätärahastoa.
Saksan liittokansleri Angela Merkel vahvisti, ettei Euroopan maista yksikään euroalueen ulkopuolinen maa ole tarjonnut rahaa hätärahastoon.
USA:n presidentti Barack Obama oli innostunut kokouksen sitoutumisesta valuuttojen joustavuuden lisäämiseksi.
”Suhtaudumme myönteisesti Kiinan määrätietoisuuteen yuanin joustavuuden lisäämiseksi. Tämä on tärkeä askel kasvun lisäämisessä”, Obama sanoi.
G20-kokous julkisti loppulausunnon, jossa kerrottiin seuraavat asiat:

• maat sitoutuvat lisäämään valuuttojen joustavuutta nopeammalla aikataululla
• maat sopivat IMF:n tukemisesta ja varojen lisäämisesta tarvittaessa
• maat olivat mielissään, että Italia pyysi IMF:n tarkkailemaan maan säästötoimia
• maat pyytävät vahvoja talousmaita kasvattamaan kotimaista kysyntää
• maat suhtautuivat myönteisesti euroalueen suunnitelmiin luottamuksen ja taloudellisen vakauden palauttamiseksi
• maat perustavat työryhmän käsittelemään nuorisotyöttömyyttä

Goldman Sachs Hired As World Banking Regulator

Bank of Canada governor Gov. Mark Carney hired as world banking regulator

CANNES, France - Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of Canada and former investment banker, has been appointed by G20 leaders to serve as a global watchdog on the world's financial fat cats.

The sharp-tongued 46-year-old is being handed the task, in turbulent times, of keeping the world's biggest banks from the kind of risky behaviour that ran the world's economy off the rails in 2008.

He takes over the part-time chairmanship of the Financial Stability Board from outgoing chair Mario Draghi, Italy's top central banker. Carney remains Bank of Canada governor.

And he does so at a time when G20 leaders are giving the international board more staff and resources and greater "name and shame" powers in an effort to rein in global financial giants.

Carney, whose seven-year term at the Bank of Canada expires in 2015, has been a strong advocate of new, stringent regulations for banks.

He spent 13 years as an investment banker with Goldman Sachs , working in London, New York, Tokyo and Toronto, giving Carney an inside view of the industry he's now charged with regulating. Only the world's biggest financial institutions — none of which are Canadian — fall under the FSB's mantle.

Widely expected to get the part-time posting, Carney may have sealed his appointment in September with his abrupt response to American bankers chafing at looming new rules.

"If some institutions feel pressure today, it is because they have done too little for too long, rather than because they are being asked to do too much, too soon," he told an audience at the Institute of International Finance in Washington.

It's the kind of blunt, direct talk that has made Carney a darling of the international financial press and a nice fit for G20 leaders hoping to flex some muscle.

Last year, Time Magazine listed him among the world's most influential people.

It is not often Canadians are considered for top jobs at global financial institutions, but Carney appears to be an exception.

Earlier this year, he appeared in a London bookmaker's list for the International Monetary Fund's top job, which eventually went to France's Christine Lagarde.

His choice as FSB chairman is seen as a geographic tradeoff between the United States and Europe.

As Carney himself put it in September amid rumours of appointment: "There are many people who think a Canadian would be suitable for the role."

Last year, Carney was named chairman to a committee on financial stability at the Bank for International Settlements, of which the FSB is a part.

http://www.iltasanomat.fi/ulkomaat/berlusconi-italia-ei-tarvitse-imfn-talousapua-/art-1288425967831.html

Italia on kuitenkin suostunut siihen, että EU ja IMF alkavat valvoa sen edistymistä rakenneuudistuksissa.
