Final G-20 Communique Spending Promise: $1,000,000,000,000

The G-20 just released its final communique, summarizing the agreements made during the one-day conference. And, it's a doozy.

The agreements we have reached today, to treble resources available to the IMF to $750 billion, to support a new SDR allocation of $250 billion, to support at least $100 billion of additional lending by the MDBs, to ensure $250 billion of support for trade finance, and to use the additional resources from agreed IMF gold sales for concessional finance for the poorest countries, constitute an additional $1.1 trillion programme of support to restore credit, growth and jobs in the world economy. Together with the measures we have each taken nationally, this constitutes a global plan for recovery on an unprecedented scale.

It's certainly on an "unprecedented scale." Plus, it's the first global action plan to really emerge from a G-20 conference -- note the sale of gold to shore up developing economies. See more detailed analysis from FP bloggers throughout the day.
