G-20 Meets in Australia, Global Growth Initiatives Top the Agenda

Global Growth is top of the agenda for this weekend's G-20 summit, set to be held in Brisbane, Australia. Leaders from the 20 biggest economies will deliver an ambitious plan to boost the world's GDP by more than $2 trillion. When the group of finance ministers and central bankers met in February they agreed to more than 900 policy initiatives. The schemes aim to lift global GDP by 2% and create millions of new jobs. Finalizing the growth initiatives will be the number one priority for the international leaders this weekend. Though the goals set by the G-20 are both specific and measurable, some critics have called the plan under-ambitious.
