The crisis,  which first struck the United States and other developed countries, now have spread rapidly to east European states, as a result of globalization and deregulation of the financial market, Soros told a seminar here.  

"It is important that this G20 doesn't merely provide pious words and general principles," said Soros, "but actually lays the foundation for concrete steps to stabilize the position of periphery countries."

He expected that the meeting will provide some "concrete results," adding "the capital of the International Monetary Found is certain to at least be doubled."
