U.S. President Barack Obama said on Wednesday there was "enormous consensus" between the largest developed and emerging economies on plans to haul the world out of the deepest downturn since the 1930s.

Obama played down any differences with France and Germany, which insist that the summit of G20 countries agrees on measures to tighten financial regulation and crack down on tax havens rather than simply renewing their promises to do so.

Demonstrators clashed with riot police and smashed bank windows in London's financial center in protest against a system they said had robbed the poor to benefit the rich.

Hundreds of protesters converged on a branch of the Royal Bank of Scotland, shattering windows. Rescued by the government in October, RBS has become a lightning rod for public anger over banker excess blamed for the crisis.
