Global poll: Economic System Needs 'Major Changes'

A survey by BBC World Service finds that the majority of residents of 24 countries around the globe believe major reform of the international economic system is needed in order to solve the current crisis.

As G20 leaders prepare to meet in London this week, 70 percent across the 24 countries polled by GlobeScan think 'major changes' are required to the way the global economy is run, the poll found.

Majorities in most countries -- on average 68 percent -- also see the need for major changes to their own country's economy, according to results.

Of the 24 countries polled, 15 are part of the G20 and among those countries, 65 percent think major changes are required to the international economic system, while 62 percent see the need for major changes to their own country's economy, the poll found.
