Think Tank Analysis: The G20 Pittsburgh Summit - Symbolic Policies or Fundamental Reforms?

Johannes Klocke: In principal, the G20 process is right. Yet, the emphases of the G20 agenda remain questionable and problematic. It is becoming more and more likely, that even the deepest crisis since the Great Depression will not suffice to initiate fundamental reforms of the financial system.

 

A year ago, the world economy slid into the deepest crisis since the Great Depression. As the international community initially focused on countering the crisis, a substantial shift to the reformation of the financial system is needed. In this respect, there is no lack of soaring rhetoric by the G20 governments, nor insistent agreements to agree, nor detailed studies of highly honorable experts in the commissions and committees.

What does all of this add up to?
