World finance leaders on Saturday endorsed a checklist of policy reforms aimed at pressuring Europe and the United States to tackle debt troubles that threaten to choke off global growth. To hold each others’ feet to the fire, the nations — meeting under the aegis of the International Monetary Fund — agreed to review progress in six months. Their 10-page agenda, however, largely summarized previously planned steps, such as deploying a new European Central Bank bond-buying program and avoiding the U.S. “fiscal cliff” of spending cuts and tax hikes set to take hold early next year.
