No single nation will be able to fix this crisis, but with continued cooperation and determination, it will be solved as long as we are steadfast in our commitment to reforming our financial sectors and maintaining free and open markets.
We recognize that these reforms will only be successful if grounded in a commitment to free market principles.
But more needs to be done to stabilize financial markets and support economic growth.
While reforms in the financial sector are essential, the long-term solution to today's problems is sustained economic growth.
Our aim should not be more government -- it should be smarter government.
History has shown that the greater threat to economic prosperity is not too little government involvement in the market, it is too much government involvement in the market.
This crisis did not develop overnight, and it's not going to be solved overnight. But our actions are having an impact.
We live in a world in which our economies are interconnected. Prosperity and progress have reached farther than any time in our history.
We can restore the global economy to the path of long-term prosperity.
United States is committed to working with our partners to ensure that we meet the challenges we face today.
The leaders look forward to meeting tomorrow to launch an effort to take concrete actions to protect the global financial system.
The surest path to that growth is to continue policies of free and open markets.
We share a determination to fix the problems that led to this turmoil.
I'm a market-oriented guy, but not when I'm faced with the prospect of a global meltdown.
If you seek economic growth, if you seek opportunity, if you seek social justice and human dignity, the free market system is the way to go.
Capitalism offers people the freedom to choose where they work and what they do.
We're facing this challenge together, and we're going to get through it together.
