G-20 TO PROTECT WORLD ECONOMY FROM BREXIT

Members of the Group of 20 major economies promised to shield the world economy from the impact of Britain’s referendum to pull away from the European Union. In a statement, world finance leaders say the decision “increased global economic uncertainty.” The Group of 20, meeting in Beijing, also said they would fight against restraints in global trade. “G-20 members are ready to actively respond to the potential economic and financial impact brought by the British referendum,” the statement said.
