ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) - The world's top financial officials are seeking a blueprint for securing future global growth.
Finance ministers and central bankers from the Group of 20 leading rich and developing countries are meeting in Scotland.
Even as the world emerges hesitantly from recession, the G20 officials are likely to agree that it is too early to pull the plug on economic stimulus measures.
The other key item on the agenda for the officials is tackling the financial cost of climate change.
With the major UN climate conference in Copenhagen a month away, the group is working on a deal on so-called climate finance. That would involve giving developing countries funds to help them cut emissions by switching from fossil fuels to cleaner energy such as wind and solar.
