For the first time since the crisis erupted two years ago, global leaders went a few millimetres beyond what was expected of them. The decision by the Group of 20 developed and emerging nations to commit $1,100bn (€816bn, £741bn) in new funds for international institutions is no doubt substantial. It will allow the International Monetary Fund to deal with the current and future torrent of balance of payment crises more effectively. But the London summit comprehensively failed to do what it set out to do. Not one of its resolutions will move the world a small step closer to resolving the global economic crisis.
自兩年前危機(jī)爆發(fā)以來,全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的表現(xiàn)首次稍稍超出了人們的期望。由發(fā)達(dá)國家和新興國家組成的20國集團(tuán)(G20)承諾,為國際機(jī)構(gòu)提供1.1萬億美元新資金。這一決議無疑具有重要意義。這將使得國際貨幣基金組織(IMF)能夠更有效的應(yīng)對當(dāng)前及未來的國際收支危機(jī)狂潮。但倫敦峰會完全沒能實(shí)現(xiàn)其最初的設(shè)想。會議的任何一項(xiàng)決議都不會把世界朝著解決全球經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)推進(jìn)一小步。
