Media Reaction: Global Economy/ G20 Summit; Sao Paulo
April 3, 2009
Title- G20 surpasses expectations
Editorial in center-right O Estado de S. Paulo (4-3) states: "The
US$1.1 trillion package to help countries most affected by the
crisis and to finance global trade was the most important decision
of the G20 meeting. With this money, the International Monetary
Fund, World Bank and other multilateral institutions will be able to
fight recession in emerging countries, attenuate social problems in
the poorest and facilitate exports, one of the main engines of the
global economy. Aiming for results in the short run, chiefs of
state have also committed to continue taking measures to boost
activity in their countries and to secure solidity of the most
important financial institutions to achieve confidence in the
markets. No one, though, has made specific commitments with regards
to new fiscal stimulus through tax cuts or an increase in
expenditures..."
Title- Consensus and Values
Op-ed in liberal Folha de S. Paulo (4-3) by columnist Clovis Rossi
says: "If we could trust in politicians, the summary of the London
Summit would be simple: the Washington Consensus goes out and
'values and principles' come in....[but the final text released by
the G20] does not sound like the end of the Washington Consensus,
even if it has been frail for a long time....It doesn't seem to
match with President Lula's speech in Santiago do Chile in favor of
a 'strong State either....the most likely result of the summit is .
. . . G8 goes out and G20 comes in."
Title- G20: beyond the meeting in London
Article in liberal Folha de S. Paulo (4-3) by economist and former
Brazilian Minister Luiz Carlos Mendonga de Barros notes: "The most
important fact created [by the G20 summit] seems to me to be the
signals that we have entered a period of big changes. [President
Barack] Obama's affirmation that the world should not rely on the
excesses of U.S. purchases is a turning point....the U.S.
President's statement evidences the need of a deep review of the
current rules."
