  • The G20 brings together the leaders of both developed and developing countries from every continent. ​
  • Collectively, G20 members represent around 80% of the world’s economic output, two-thirds of global population and three-quarters of international trade. 
  • Throughout the year, representatives from G20 countries gather to discuss financial and socioeconomic issues.​

History of G20

  • Originated in 1999 at the level of Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors, the G20 gathered for high-level discussions on macro-financial issues. 
  • In the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis, the G20 was elevated to include the leaders of member countries. 
  • The first G20 Leaders’ Summit took place in Washington D.C. in November 2008. 
  • Consequently, the G20 agenda expanded beyond macro-financial issues, to include socio-economic and development issues.
