Leaders from the G-20 summit announced today that they would put $1 trillion into the global economy and seek greater regulation of the financial industry. The announcement is a compromise between nations that called for more spending and nations that sought greater financial reform to deal with the worldwide recession. The plan includes $500 billion in loans to the International Monetary Fund, $250 billion in IMF Special Drawing Rights, and $250 billion to boost trade. Also included are pledges to regulate hedge funds and crack down on tax havens. Larry Mantle discusses the details and how the G-20 leaders will implement their plan.
