(AGI) WORLD: OXFAM CRITICAL OF G20 OUTCOMES
(AGI) Toronto – ONGs issue a critical appraisal of outcomes at the G20: “a great opportunity to tackle world poverty has been lost.” According to Oxfam and Ucodep spokeswoman Farida Bena, the results compound G8 outcomes, “when commitments to help the poorest countries.” “The G20 has sidelined bank levies,” she said, adding “if we were to borrow football jargon, Canada’s defenders have stopped the US and the EU to score on the most important match for Africa. The G20 could have levied a financial sector tax” in aid of the 64 million impoverished people of the world. .
