LONDON, April 2 (Reuters) - The latest draft of the G20 communique calls for an increase of International Monetary Fund resources by $500 billion, which would make available total funding of $750 billion, G20 sources said on Thursday.
That would effectively triple the amount of resources for the global financial institution, including an existing $250 billion that the IMF is already able to tap.
Some countries including Japan and the European Union have already said they will give $100 billion each, and the United States has indicated it will give about $100 billion.
One source said the communique states that the IMF could also tap markets to raise more money if needed.
