On the second day of a brief Gulf tour that started in Saudi Arabia, Brown also backed an enhanced role for them in international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
By boosting the IMF's current 250 billion dollar bailout facility, Brown told British and Saudi business leaders in Riyadh, Gulf states could prevent financial "contagion" spreading.

"I very much hope that as part of that, you and other Gulf states will be willing to join with other countries to help stop the financial crisis spreading by helping to boost the international fund for distressed economies," he said.
"I believe it is in all our interests to stop this contagion and to rebuild confidence in the financial system for the future.
