"History in the making" - G20 to discuss "new global currency"

i heard this on a Fox news preview last night after "Family Guy"!!

i just about choked on my milkshake when i heard it!!

the female news anchor said the phrases "history in the making", "G20", and "new global currency"... i've been working so i haven't dug up much info, but has anyone else heard anything about this particular meeting??

i assume it's going to be some time this week?

i'll see what i can find and i'll post it here soon!!

Oh jeez. There is no way that currency can be switched over in a week's time that would fit on a world scale or even a meeting in a weeks time would make any difference anytime soon.

And of all sources to get information from..FOX news is probably the last on the list of the un-credible.

Cheers!!!!

i just came across this!

So, for instance, the problem is that we're going to have a G-20 meeting to discuss global financial architecture in Washington (on Nov. 15), but the leadership is a president that nobody respects. It's very difficult ... and a secretary of the Treasury that most people don't respect.

i guess the meeting's on November 15, then...

Yea special meeting Nov 15th, but they just finished up their annual two-day meeting. Here's a communique:

www.bloomberg.com...

We welcomed that the Heads of G-20 countries will convene for a Leaders´ Summit on Financial Markets and the World Economy to be held on 15 November 2008 in Washington, noting that the global crisis requires global solutions and a common set of principles and that the forthcoming summit is an important step in enhancing international cooperation. We stand ready to urgently take forward work and actions agreed by our leaders to restore and maintain financial stability and support global growth.

A strange side-note:

We should ensure that all sectors of the financial industry, as appropriate, are regulated or subjected to oversight. We agreed that it is important to address the issue of pro-cyclicality in financial market regulations and supervisory systems.

What's 'pro-cyclicality'?

check out the news thread i started about this, here:
