The G-20 summit raised high hopes that, the meeting would provide significant impetus for reviving the global economy. The summit's agenda included a stimulus for the revival of economy; coordinated calibration of stimulus measures; avoidance of protectionism, and clamping down on tax havens and reforming the world's financial system by introducing strong regulation and close supervision.
The summit declared an additional $1.1 trillion into the International Monetary Fund, multi-lateral development banks and international trade finance, agreement to crack down taxes, and strengthen the regulation of financial institutions including hedge funds and credit rating agencies.
