This should be combined with a more active role for the IMF – rather than the G-20 – as the true instrument of global macroeconomic policy coordination. One essential (and generally agreed) goal of such coordination should be to reduce global imbalances like those caused in recent years by the European Union’s rising external surplus, which has forced many emerging economies to run growing deficits.
此外，IMF——而不是G-20——应该扮演更积极的角色，成为真正的全球宏观经济政策协调工具。一个根本性（也被广泛接受的）协调目标应是减少类似于近几年来因欧盟外部盈余增加从而迫使许多新兴经济体赤字抬头而造成的失衡。
