The Form of Money :: Main Page

The world is still recovering from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. In America, we see the engine of growth beginning to churn. To overcome an economic crisis that touches every corner of the world, we worked with the G-20 nations to forge a coordinated international response of over two trillion dollars in stimulus to bring the global economy back from the brink. We mobilized resources that helped prevent the crisis from spreading further to developing countries.

In Pittsburgh, we will work with the world's largest economies to chart a course for growth that is balanced and sustained. That means taking steps to rekindle demand, so that a global recovery can be sustained, a global economy that advances opportunity for all people. We will integrate more economies into a system of global trade. We will support the Millennium Development Goals, and approach next year's Summit with a global plan to make them a reality.

Growth will not be sustained or shared unless all nations embrace their responsibility. Our goal is simple: a global economy in which growth is sustained. We will change the way we use energy, and to promote growth that can be sustained and shared.

The world must stand together to demonstrate that international law is not an empty promise, and that Treaties will be enforced.
