G20: A Citizen’s Guide

Last week’s demonstrations deflected attention from the decisions taken by the world’s leaders to tackle the global economic meltdown

Sunday, 5 April 2009

What was decided about the International Monetary Fund (IMF)?

The IMF is to receive an extra £500bn in funding, up from its current £250bn budget. This is to be lent to poor countries that are among the worst hit by the financial meltdown. G20 leaders also agreed to a $250bn Special Drawing Rights package, which is essentially cash that can be pumped into the world's economy. There was also a broad agreement to reform the IMF as well as the World Bank, though this was light on specifics.

The G20 Moves the World a Step Closer to a Global Currency

The world is a step closer to a global currency, backed by a global central bank, running monetary policy for all humanity.

By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
Last Updated: 2:06PM BST 03 Apr 2009

A single clause in Point 19 of the communiqué issued by the G20 leaders amounts to revolution in the global financial order.

"We have agreed to support a general SDR allocation which will inject $250bn (£170bn) into the world economy and increase global liquidity," it said. SDRs are Special Drawing Rights, a synthetic paper currency issued by the International Monetary Fund that has lain dormant for half a century.

In effect, the G20 leaders have activated the IMF's power to create money and begin global "quantitative easing". In doing so, they are putting a de facto world currency into play. It is outside the control of any sovereign body. Conspiracy theorists will love it.

It has been a good summit for the IMF. Its fighting fund for crises is to be tripled overnight to $750bn. This is real money.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the managing director, said in February that the world was "already in Depression" and risked a slide into social disorder and military conflict unless political leaders resorted to massive stimulus.
