The Group of 20 major economies will do “whatever it takes” to overcome the coronavirus crisis and said they are injecting $5 trillion into the global economy though national measures as part of their efforts to lessen its impact, Reuters reported.
After an extraordinary summit by video-link, the G20 leaders committed to implement and fund all necessary health measures to protect lives while minimising economic and social damage, and to avoid unnecessary interference with international trade.
They also expressed concern about the risks to fragile countries, notably in Africa, and populations like refugees, acknowledging the need to bolster global financial safety nets and national health systems.
