International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde said Group of 20 nations are prepared to boost the fund’s resources as the European debt crisis threatens the global recovery.

“If circumstances require, the G-20 will commit the resources that are necessary for the IMF to play its systemic role,” she said during a joint press conference with Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega in Brasilia today. “That gives you a range that is almost without a cap, without a limitation.”
