在这场十分混乱的峰会里,一些计划中的议题几乎被沦为次要地位，但这些议题最终还是把20国集团峰会引入了正轨。各国领导讨论的第一个计划中的共同议题是：对全球基本食品交易的投机行为加以限制。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb! O% Q: y8 j, G, y1 \6 i1 Q

然而，戛纳峰会上还有许多议题被搁置一旁。例如与会者就没有抽出时间对类似饥荒和气候问题展开讨论。此外，被寄予厚望的金融交易税议题也未能在峰会上达成共识。这一议题在本次峰会的闭幕声明中仅沦为次要内容。或许y引入金融交易税已经得到了欧元区国家的普遍共识？但问题在于，眼下欧元区各国有其它更需要解决的问题。在紧张的峰会结束后，严重的欧洲金融危机还远未解决。下一个即将引爆的"金融炸弹"就在距戛纳一个小时车程的意大利。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb6 Z: h4 v! f2 N) H

It is important,nevertheless, not to overstate the failure of the Cannes G20 summit. This is not apocalypse – or even Acropolis – now. Modern summits are an ongoing bargaining process, not a one-off, all-or-nothing shoot-out. But it is just as important not to understate the missed opportunities and the perilous consequences either. The fundamental fact about the Cannes G20, like the Brussels eurozone summit last week, is that the nations of the world had the chance to get a stronger grip on the European sovereign debt crisis and they let it slip. One way or another, therefore, they are doomed to have to try again. But the context may not be any easier when they do. In fact, it could be much worse.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb! ]" O2 N% E4 h5 Y3 z

The easy excuse is to blame Greece. If George Papandreou had not thrown a spanner into the post-Brussels works by announcing a referendum on last week's rescue package, the argument runs, then Germany and France could have come to Cannes with a shiny new eurozone prospectus for China and others to buy. That argument won't wash. Mr Papandreou's timing, though not his spasm of democratic instinct, was terrible. But Greek instability is a given in this crisis,however you frame it. The bigger problem was that Europe's three-part rescue plan was virtual reality, not money on the table. It was a rights issue with a prospectus lacking hard numbers. It was not a bad plan – and it has certainly gained the eurozone some time. But it was inadequate. It contained insufficient bankable and quantifiable commitments on Greece, on Italy, on the recapitalisation of the banks and on the euro stability fund. The very fact that the EU had to come to the G20 for help was indicative of the fact that the EU was failing to pull together – and was perhaps incapable of solving its own problems. 5 ]1 x9 n; C9 @" C/ U2 e6 Zwww2.tvboxnow.comtvb now,tvbnow,bttvb' ^( \# P9 Q% ?4 Z7 S1 w9 c
That judgment can now be extended to the G20 too. Yesterday's Cannes communique is a compromise document, as they always are. But the Cannes conclusions rarely rise above generality. "We all commit to further structural reforms to raise output in our countries," they say. But who commits to exactly what? "We will ensure the IMF continues to have resources to play its systemic role to the benefit of its whole membership," says what is arguably the communique's single most important sentence – not least in the paranoid worm's-eye-view world of Westminster Euroscepticism. But how much resources?From whom? And where will it be spent? Even the apparently concrete Italian commitment to call in the IMF "to carry out a public verification of its policy implementation" lacks the necessary steel rods that would reinforce Italy's pledge to restructure its debt, 0 M: D( n* K1 @: [! |!

It may not seem from the reporting as if the G20 was about anything other than righting Europe's banks and public finances. In fact, every G20 is and ought to be also about low global growth. Yet Cannes disappointed here too. The communique talks of an action plan for growth and jobs. But where is it? There are vague commitments to take "discretionary measures to support domestic demand, should economic conditions materially worsen." And there is an apparent Chinese commitment (which nevertheless does not mention China)"to increase domestic demand coupled with greater exchange rate flexibility". True, these are not technically inconsistent with an energetic growth pact. Yet to pretend that this is in any sense a co-ordinated or credible action plan for the nations to combine to get ahead of the markets is simply false. # E6 C6 G( R/ m: i: d4 K公仔箱論壇tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb! t& L' D, H$ \/ [0 g
Any summit is better than no summit at all. It is also important to have realistic expectations about the ability of nations with different interests, and often ruled by coalitions, to take transformative collective actions. Yet if not them, who? And if not now, when? Cannes provided few answers. All the big questions still remain on the table for next time.作者: norman.ho 時間: 2011-11-6 09:59 AM

We (the Chinese Government) have survived the last Global Financial Crisis coming out rather unscathed, that was mainly due to our strong fiscal policy (pegging the Chinese Yuan to $US, and we hold a huge amount of US dollars and US bond in our reserve), and the strong government spending on building the local infrastructures such as airport, freeways, railway lines, port facilities, and a very strong local demand for housing and manufactured goods and so on.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb5 @4 e, G6 R% o

The leaders of the world's 20 richest countries intended to come to Cannes to come up with a solution to global economic crisis which is quickly spiraling out of control. But a shock announcement Tuesday from the Greek prime minister that he would hold a referendum on Greece's acceptance of the bailout package worked out last week changed all that. The resulting outcry threw the Greek government into disarray, putting it near collapse - which could have precipitated a global emergency. The leaders of the 20 richest countries in the world ended up working out nothing, spending the entire summit glued to their blackberries waiting for news from a tiny country in the Mediterranean. 1 [4 C7 l( F!

But though Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou's snap decision to hold a referendum may be mystifying, he and his Socialist party have done nothing to create this crisis. Since they came into power they have only been trying to fix what the previous Conservative government did. One would be hard-pressed to not feel a bit sorry for Papandreou, who came into office in2009 to get the shock of his life when he learned the previous government had been cooking the books. tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb, c- I5 t8 U; ~6 s0 B

They actually have enough money to build a firewall around Italy and Spain to prevent contagion to those countries - if they had backing from the European Central Bank. The UK, US and France have all been pleading with Angela Merkel to agree to let the ECB put its economic might behind the bailout. And China has also told them this, most notably when they last week declined to participate in the €1 trillion EFSF bailout fund,pointing out that Europe has the capacity to shore it up itself with the ECB.But Germany regards such a move as antithetical to the precepts of the ECB, the successor to the very conservative Bundesbank.
