Outcome of G20 Meeting

|
The Group of 20 summit Saturday came together on principles for regulations that may avert future crises but stopped short of an agreement for a global financial market enforcer, analysts said. Finance ministers, given a list of some 47 things to follow up on, agreed to meet again before the end of April.
