Australia’s push for a permanent seat at the top table has paid off. World leaders have announced the G20 will supersede 1 the G8 as the world’s premier 2 financial governance body. It's a win for the prime minister who has been arguing for months the G20 should be the driving power of major financial decisions. Kevin Rudd says it's a more representative body as it includes emerging powers such as China and India. The G20 is meeting in the US city of Pittsburgh for a two-day summit.
Twitter says it’s closed a deal for significant new funding. The 115-million-dollar investment is about twice as much as Twitter was reportedly expected to raise in its latest round of fund-raising. So far the social networking website has been unable to make money since its launch.
To the markets now, banking 3 stocks have made gains after ANZ announced it’s swallowing ING’s stake in their joint 4 wealth management and life insurance ventures.
The local market was buoyed 5. The ASX closed 0.25% higher. But Wall Street fell for its third straight day on disappointing US housing and durable 6 goods data. In London, gains in the pharmaceutical 7 and energy stocks helped offset 8 losses. And on Saturday morning the dollar was buying 86 US cents.
And that’s ABC Business News.
