Jakarta (ANTARA News) - A banker has expressed the hope that the current G20 summit in Hangzhou, China, would be able to come up with solutions to speed up the recovery of global trade and flow of investment.

"With the worlds exports growing at the slowest level since the 2008 economic crisis, concrete action on the part of G20 is expected to revive the trade again," the head of commercial banking of the HSBC Asia Pacific, Struat Tait, said in a text message received by ANTARA here on Monday.

He stressed that the G20 needed to give stimulus to reignite the global engine of growth.

"The key to using this opportunity is by connecting economic potentials and making the business of global trade easier to bring humans and capital to common goals," he stated.

"G20 has a wide room to push business and economic activities," he added.

HSBC is an international bank with access to more than 90 percent of the worlds gross domestic product, trade and capital flows.

The commercial banking department of the bank has two million clients in 55 countries across the world. In 2015, it earned US$15.7 billion.(*)
