Praise has been heaped upon South Africa following its historic hosting of the G20 Leaders Summit - the first ever to take place on African soil.
Member states unanimously adopted the Summit Declaration, despite attempts by the United States to block elements of the agreement. While experts have acknowledged several significant gains, some caution that deeper and more urgent reforms are still required.
A fiscal policy expert welcomed key victories secured at the summit, particularly commitments to protect exchange rate stability. Delegates from across the globe backed the declaration in full, even as the US sought to stifle it.
