2009-04-03来源:和谐英语

英国首相布朗在G20闭幕新闻发布会上的发言中称,G20将通过各种机制,为世界经济注资1.1万亿美元,其中包括2500亿元的特别提款权。

另据环球时报报道,根据来自美联社的消息,英国首相布朗表示,出席G20峰会的各国领导人一致同意为国际货币基金组织和世界银行注资1万亿美元,以帮助陷入困境的世界经济。

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said on Thursday that the results of the Group of 20 (G20) London summit will shorten the current recession.

"There are no quick fixes but with our six pledges today we can shorten the recession and we can save jobs," Brown said at a press conference after G20 leaders concluded their one-day summit.

"This is the day that the world came together to fight back against the global recession not with words but with a plan for global recovery," Brown told reporters.

"Today we have reached a new consensus, to deal with the problems we face, do what is necessary to restore growth and jobs," Brown said after the four hour summit.

He laid out the agreements that had been made by the G20leaders and he made clear that the proposals set forward were an attempt to rewrite the rules of capitalism.

In a move that would have pleased French President Nicholas Sarkozy and Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel, he announced measures to deal with what he called the shadow banking system.

" We have agreed there will be an end to tax havens that do not transfer information on request," Brown said, and insisted that "The banking secrecy of the past must come to an end."

布朗同时表示,参加峰会的20个国家将制定共同的政策以制裁“避税天堂”国家,规范基金投资,并重建经济体之间的相互信赖,各国将通过这些措施来避免此次的经济危机再次上演。

布朗表示,G20同样将给予新兴经济体更多的发言权。布朗并没有介绍更多新的财政措施,但是他表示,主要国家宣布的经济刺激计划已达到历史最大规模。

He said there had also been agreement to impose tough standards and sanctions for those who did not comply. This was all part of a plan to encourage corporate responsibility throughout the globe. In his much repeated phrase, he said that the global problems required global solutions, but said that the G20 leaders were committed to solving the crisis.

He said that international accounting standards would have to be set and that there would need to be tighter regulation with regards hedge funds and tax havens.

"We will implement new rules on pay and bonuses at a global level that reflect actual performance with no more rewards for failure," Brown added.

"We will clean up the banks so that they increase lending to families and businesses. And to enable this we have agreed for the first time, a common global approach to how we deal with impaired or toxic assets," he said.

There were also proposals to spend huge amounts of money. "We are in the middle of an uNPRecedented fiscal expansion which will by the end of next year amount to an injection of five trillion dollars into our economies," Brown said. It was necessary, he insisted and said it would save and create millions of jobs.

Brown went on to announce further injections of cash. "We have also agreed today additional resources of one trillion dollars that are available to the world economy through the International Monetary Fund and other institutions," he said.

"This is available to all IMF members and at the same time we will treble resources of the International Monetary Fund itself with up to an additional 500 billion dollars," he said.

"Together, these actions give us confidence that the global economy can return to trend growth even faster than the International Monetary Fund is predicting," he said.

"We will ask the international institutions to strengthen their independent surveillance of the world economy, and to promote growth and the reduction of poverty," he said.

"We have agreed that the mandates of these institutions that were created in 1945 must now be reformed to make them more accountable, more representative and more effective, " he said.

"And this includes giving emerging markets and developing countries a greater voice and greater representation. And we will also enable that the heads and senior staff of these institutions are appointed on merit," he added.
