WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Finance chiefs from the G20 see "good prospects" for a soft landing for the global economy, and they have committed to resist protectionism, according to a draft communique seen by Reuters ahead of the group's meeting this week.

"We observe good prospects of a soft landing of the global economy, although multiple challenges remain," according to the draft, which a source said may still be revised before the conclusion on Thursday of the G20 finance ministers meeting on the sidelines of the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.
