Reuters – The G30, a group of high-profile economists and policy-makers, on Thursday called for changes in international financial regulation to help avoid future meltdowns, but its recommendations were vague and non-binding.
In findings that made no reference to the issue of executive compensation, the group of bankers and policy-makers indicated that big firms that pose a risk to the entire system should be subject to particularly close scrutiny.
The global economy has been reeling from a financial crisis that began with a popping U.S. housing bubble and has since infected the entire financial system, shaking confidence and breeding mistrust.
