The year-long deliberations will culminate in a G20 Leaders’ Summit in November 2025,” the Presidency said.
The G20 was originally established as a meeting of Finance Ministers in response to the Asian financial crisis of 1997-99, with the aim of coordinating policies to promote international financial stability’.
This initiative was elevated to a Heads of State and Government Leaders Meeting in 2008 after the global financial crisis of 2007.
Together, G20 members account for around 85% of global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 75% of international trade.
It comprises 19 countries including: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Türkiye, United Kingdom, and United States and two regional bodies, namely the European Union and the African Union.
The grouping therefore plays a critical role in influencing global policy making and fostering global economic stability. –SAnews.gov.za
