The London Summit is to bring leaders of the world’s major economies and global economic institutions together to reach international agreement on reviving the world economy.

Taking place from 1-2 April, its goals are to:

• Secure global economic recovery - growth and jobs
• Agree the contours of a strengthened financial system  - drawing on the Washington Action Plan
• Agree principles, priorities and process for reform of the IFIs

At the London Summit countries need to come together to enhance global coordination and so help restore global economic growth. World leaders must make three commitments:

• To take whatever action is necessary to stabilise financial markets and enable families and business to get through the recession
• To reform and strengthen the global financial and economic system to ensure such a crisis cannot occur again
• To put the global economy on track for sustainable growth.
