WASHINGTON - Leaders of the world's biggest economies sought on Saturday to settle their remaining differences over an emergency plan to blunt the bite of the worst financial crisis in decades.
Presidents and prime ministers from the powers of the 20th Century joined the heads of new economic heavyweights such as export colossus China and oil-rich Saudi Arabia.
"One of the dangers during a crisis such as this is that people will start implementing protectionist policies."
As well as new regulation, leaders are considering ways to open up global institutions such as the IMF to emerging economies whose export-funded reserve cashpiles have made them important economic players.
