Expectations are high that the leaders of the world's largest economies would be committed to a coordinated response to the economic crisis, an overhaul of the global financial architecture and restraint from protectionism.
The leaders will be aiming to enhance coordination of a global fiscal stimulus, reach a consensus on increasing loans to the IMF, and reaffirm commitment to anti-protectionism to help restore global sustainable economic growth and stabilize the financial market.
