G20

What would you do if someone asked you to summarize the major tensions of human beings on this blue planet of ours? I?m talking about the big, systemic issues ? the problems of capitalism, war, climate change and development. These things are too complicated for any one person or single generation to solve. 

Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan will visit the United States to attend a series of international meetings, including the G-20 meetings, between April 15 and 21. 

Representatives from G20 and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries will meet in Istanbul on April 10 to discuss how companies can avoid financial risks.

According to Wall Street Journal, US Minister of Finance Jacob Lew from the G20 team meeting, urges Europeans to cooperate with Greece.

According to the report,”the impasse in negotiations (for Greece) causes fear among Ministers of finance and central bankers of the D20 Group countries of major economies, at their meeting in Istanbul”.

Talks with Greece over its debt crisis should take place within the framework of its existing economic bailout program, the EUs economic and financial affairs commissioner Pierre Moscovici said Tuesday.

“Nobody forced Greece to enter a fiscal aid program”, German FinMin Wolfgang Schaeuble roared during the G20 meeting in Istanbul, fondly known as Constantinople during the Byzantine millennium.

Schaeuble said he does not yet understand how the new Greek government will be able to handle its problems.

French Finance Minister Michel Sapin asked for Greece's funding to be safeguarded "but within the framework of European rules." On his arrival to Istanbul on Monday where he will participate in the G20 meeting, he said:

Finance ministers and central bankers face a tough task coordinating action to spur global growth at G-20 meetings this week, with major economies running at different speeds and monetary policies diverging.
