BEIJING, June 26 (Xinhuanet) -- The Greek debt crisis has not only put a question mark on the future of euro, but also increased the risk of a double-dip global recession. At this critical juncture, the major tasks of the Group of 20 (G20) leaders meeting in Toronto, Canada, are how to pursue well-coordinated economic policies, overcome the multiple crises and ensure a strong global economic recovery.
G20 finance ministers and central bank governors agreed at their meeting in April that global recovery, till then, had been better than expected. But shortly after that, with the Greek debt crisis worsening and its spillover effect on Mediterranean countries and some Central and East European countries preparing to join the European Union (EU), the eurozone's market fell into disorder. As a result, the euro dropped and world stock markets tumbled.
Now, the emerging economies have to pare their growth outlook because Europe's woes threaten to derail global recovery. The global economic crisis is thus becoming more complicated and creating new uncertainties.
Earlier this month, the meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors in Busan, the Republic of Korea, put the uneven pace of recovery in countries and regions on its agenda, along with fiscal reestablishment and financial regulatory reform issues.
China and other emerging economies have been functioning as the new engines of global economic growth in the post-global financial crisis period. But after a year and half, the emerging economies are showing increasing signs of overheating and even bubbles. These economies need to take delicate decisions to avoid inflation and gradually deflate the bubbles, if there are any.
