The meeting of the Group of 20 also decided to tighten these regulations and tax havens, recognizing that businesses must accept their share of the responsibility for the current crisis not just with lip service but also with the money they've earned from the system the way it used to work (Fidler et al., 2009). This has also affected international investment in large publicly held companies, and some of the regulations discussed in last week's meetings include the use of an international currency and international investment regulations, including the way taxes are charged and allocated (Fidler et al., 2009). In the past, the construction of global economic regulations and tax laws -- or the lack thereof, in many cases -- was a major part of many international businesses' plans -- it had to be, to ensure maximum growth and success. The changes that the Group of 20 are proposing and hoping to enact will have a huge effect on such things, forcing international businesses to further change their future projections and plans even more than they already have (Fidler et al., 2009).

All in all, the metting itself and the decisions reached show that the leading countries of the world are embracing the new responsibilities of globalization.
