US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is meeting French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris on Wednesday to press for decisive steps towards resolving Europe's deepening debt crisis, as the region's leaders prepare for a crucial summit on Friday.

On Tuesday, Geithner said the IMF has an important role to play in resolving Europe's debt crisis, but quashed reports that the US Federal reserve would loan money to IMF.

Some European officials want to boost the IMF's resources through bilateral loans to the fund from euro zone national central banks. Channeling money through the IMF could make it more politically palatable for wealthier European countries to devote more resources to the region's bailouts.
