Introduction: G20 The Group of Twenty (G20) finance ministers and central bank governors was established in 1999 in the area of finance. Here participants from both industrialized and developing countries gather annually in the autumn at the ministerial level to discuss key issues in the global economy. The first G20 gathering, hosted by Germany and co-chaired by Canada, occurred in Berlin on December 15-16, 1999. The work of the G20 finance group has led to discussions of other “20” groups.
