Group of 20 To Maintain Stimulus Measures

London, England, Nov. 9, 2009–The Group of 20 leading rich and developing countries agreed to maintain their stimulus measures in the wake of weak U.S. employment figures.

At a meeting in Scotland, the countries’ finance ministers pledged to “continue to provide support for the economy until the recovery is assured” after U.S. jobs figures Friday showed unemployment at a 26-year high of 10.2 percent.
