London, Sep 5 (DPA) British Prime Minister Gordon Brown warned Group of 20 (G20) finance ministers and central bankers Saturday against moving too hastily to roll back the $5-trillion fiscal stimulus plans governments launched to counter fallout from the recession.
Brown told the top G20 finance officials from the world's leading economies meeting in London that scaling back the anti-economic crisis packages would undermine 'the tentative signs of recovery' that have recently emerged in the global economy.
Held in the staid surroundings of the British Treasury building in central London, the meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bankers came against the backdrop of divisions in the group over dealing with the economic crisis.
This includes differences on curbing generous bankers' bonuses, which some G20 nations see as triggering the buildup of risk in the global economy that helped to pave the wave for the economic shakeout.
At the same time, Germany, France and Japan, which have already emerged from recession, have raised beginning to wind back the mass stimulus plans, which apart from stabilizing national economies have resulted in rising budget deficits.
