Gordon Brown was the keynote speaker at the Advancing Enterprise conference in London - a meeting of the world's leading finance ministers.
The theme was 'enterprise in global markets.'

Mr Brown promised 'far-reaching new incentives' to make Britain the most business-friendly country in the world.
The Chancellor said the country had the chance to become the best location for scientific research and development - as well as the 'world leader' in the new enterprises of the future.
"We can be one of the global economy's greatest success stories and look forward to a twenty-first century of British achvievement."
The meeting was the first under the UK's G8 presidency.
Former South African president Nelson Mandela was also in London to address the G7 ministers.
