QUESTION:
Oil is of paramount importance in this part of the world. Did your discussions include oil? What is your view on oil prices?

But let me just underscore two things: I think we all have an interest today in trying to make sure that we’re reinforcing these tentative signs of recovery we’re seeing across the world economy. It’s also very important to us … that we explore ways to bring better transparency to energy and commodity markets, and ways to reduce volatility in these markets.
