The world community has long been united by interests, in particular, the governments of different states follow this trend. An example is the creation The big twenty .

G20 - international informal organization, in which the ministers of finance and economics, as well as heads of central banks of the twenty most developed countries the world.

These include:

• Australia with the highest level of GDP per capita - 65.9 thousand dollars;
• USA and Canada with indicators of 55 and 51 thousand dollars / person;
• between 50 and 40 thousand dollars are residents of Germany, France, Great Britain;
• GDP of Japan and Italy is rounded up to 38 and 35 thousand dollars / person;
• followed by South Korea (29,6), Saudi Arabia (28,5);
• Russia, with an indicator of $ 14.4 thousand per capita, does not occupy the last place, as in the G8, followed by Argentina, Mexico and Brazil;
• 10 thousand dollars of GDP per person in Turkey;
• China (7.6), South Africa (7.0), Indonesia (3.4) dropped below the mark of 10 thousand dollars;
• India closes the top twenty with a GDP of 1.7 thousand dollars / person.

As of 2014, the highest unemployment rate among these countries was observed in South Africa - 25%, the lowest in South Korea - 3.5%. Inflation hit Argentina - 37.6%, the most stable rate was observed in Italy - 0.2%. According to estimates, the gross product of the G20 member countries taken together is about 86% of world GDP. The number of people living in the G20 countries is two-thirds of the world's population.

In 1999, the first prerequisites for the unification of countries appeared in order to improve financial policy. At that time, the G20 was primarily concerned with finding solutions to those problems that went beyond the competence and capabilities of local structures. The first official meeting of representatives of the G20 countries took place in 2008. It was initiated by Paul Martin, who once served as Prime Minister of Canada. The meeting was prompted by the need to discuss financial issues at the global level.

The G20's credibility grew rapidly, which ultimately led to the organization announcing its desire to replace the G8. This self-confidence caused a negative reaction from the world community, in particular, led to conflicts with radical organizations.

Organization of work of the G20

The prerequisite for the creation of the forum of leading countries was economic crisis in Asia (late 90s). When the G20 was created, it was planned that the participating countries would meet at annual summits, but the first 3 years after the start of work, the congresses were held more often - once every six months. At the same time, the role of the meetings was rather auxiliary - global issues were decided by ministers and other government officials at their meetings.

The G20 states hold summits in turn, the definition of which is simple. All G20 countries are divided into five groups. The right to organize and hold the next summit belongs to one of the states represented in each group. So, in 2015, the meeting was held in Turkey's Antalya, this year the venue was the city of Hangzhou, China. The last summit discussed the issue of preventing the financial crisis in the world.

Their countries' representatives in the G20 are finance ministers and central bank governors. Other countries outside the organization are also invited to participate in the discussions. Spain is a regular guest at all summits.

The management of the process of holding meetings is carried out by the heads of three states: the presidents of last year, present and future summits. The task of this trinity is to preserve the continuity and traditional rules of work, to bring up for discussion issues that are equally relevant for everyone.

The G20, being a voluntarily created union, has no legal basis and no official representation. Nicolas Sarkozy, who served as French president until 2012, proposed regulating the work of the G20 by creating a secretariat. He also insisted that world organization must have a headquarters.

The opinions of the representatives of the G20 countries were divided: Brazil and China supported the idea of ​​creating a secretariat, South Korea proposed to introduce a virtual guide, Japan and Italy opposed the innovations.

In 2017, the G20 meeting will be hosted by Germany. It is not yet known what questions will be raised, but the main thing, according to analysts and some critics, is that they relate to problems related specifically to the economy, and not to international politics.

Opens Friday in Hamburg, Germany.

Below is some background information.

G20 - Leading Forum international cooperation by the most important aspects international economic and financial agenda.

The main goals and objectives of the forum:

Coordination of policies between the members of the G20 in order to achieve global economic stability and sustainable growth;

Promotion of financial regulation that would mitigate risks and prevent future financial crises;

Creation of a new international financial architecture.

The decision to formally establish the G20 was taken at a September 1999 meeting of finance ministers and central bankers of the seven leading industrialized economies (UK, Italy, Canada, USA, Germany, France and Japan) in Washington, DC. The founding conference took place on December 15-16, 1999 in Berlin.

The precondition for the creation of the G20 was the financial crisis of 1997-1998, which demonstrated the vulnerability of the international financial system in the context of the globalization of economic relations, and showed that key developing economies are not sufficiently involved in discussion and management. the global economy... The main format of the forum's activities was annual meetings at the level of finance ministers and heads of central banks.

In November 2008, it was decided to change the format of the G20 meetings and hold meetings also at the level of leaders (heads of state and government), after which the forum acquired its modern significance.

Currently, 19 countries and the European Union (EU) have the status of a permanent member of the G20. The G20 includes Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Great Britain, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Canada, China, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, USA, Turkey, France, South Africa, South Korea, Japan and Russia.

Traditionally, the G20 leaders' summits are attended by its permanent members, five invited countries and international organizations.

The European Union is represented by the President of the European Commission and the President of the European Council.

The summits are held in the country that acts as the chairman of the group.

The presiding country changes annually according to the principle of rotation and alternation of regions. In 2015, Turkey chaired, in 2016 the summit was held in China, and in 2017 the G20 is hosted by Germany. In 2018, the summit will be held in Argentina.

Three successive chairmanships (past, current and future G20 chairmen) are tacitly united into the governing Troika, joint work which ensures consistency and continuity in the work of the G20, enhancing the legitimacy and transparency of decision-making at meetings.

Currently, the troika includes China (host in 2016), Germany (chairmanship in 2017) and Argentina (chairmanship in 2018).

The very process of chairmanship consists in consistent preparation, development of draft documents to be adopted and coordination with partners of decisions in the field of development of the world economy and monetary and financial architecture. Questions are raised that are significant both for the chairmanship and for the priorities of other G20 partners.

Preparations for the annual summit are led by senior officials called Sherpas who represent the leaders of the G20 countries.

Since November 2010, the G20 leaders have decided to meet no more than once a year.

In 2016, the G20 Summit on Building an Innovative, Healthy, Interconnected and Inclusive World Economy was held on September 4-5 in Hangzhou, China.

According to Article 112 Labor Code RF, this holiday is one of the official non-working holidays(additional days off), both for a five-day period and for a six-day period.

November 4, 2019 is the last additional day off this year. Further, the residents of Russia will have the opportunity to have a good rest only at the beginning of 2020, when after the New Year they will have long new year holidays, including the celebration of the Nativity of Christ.

Speed. Russian mixed martial arts fighter Alexander Emelianenko (younger brother of Fedor Emelianenko) fought over a hundred fights in different types martial arts. His manner of fighting is bold, fast and spectacular. Now Alexander is in excellent physical form, which means that he will be faster than ever in the upcoming fight.

"The big twenty": history and goals of the organization. Which countries are in the G20?

November 03, 2015

Many have heard about this international organization. When did the G20 come into being? What are the goals and principles of this forum? Which countries are in the G20? All this is in our article.

Organization history

Before answering the question of which countries are members of the G20, it is necessary to briefly tell about the history of this organization. And also about when it was established.

The G20, G20, or simply the G20 is a global international forum that brings together the world's leading economies. In countries that are part of this organization, about 85% of all world trade is concentrated.

The year of creation of the G20 is 1999. The corresponding decision to create such a forum was made at the meeting of the G7 finance ministers in Washington. The first orientation conference of the organization took place in December of the same year in Berlin.

The impetus for the establishment of the G20 was the so-called East Asian economic crisis of 1998, the consequences of which affected almost the entire planet. " Strong of the world this "realized the need for such global organization, which could predict and prevent similar crises in the world economy.

It is curious that initially an organization called G33 arose, which united, respectively, 33 states. However, less than a year has passed since it was transformed into the G20. Which countries were included in it? Read about this in the next section.

G20 countries: list of members

Interestingly, the candidates for the G20 were selected by the ministers of only two states - the United States and Canada. Which countries are in the G20 today?

The international forum includes 19 leading world economies, as well as the European Union as a collective organization. In addition, G20 meetings and summits are often attended by representatives of other international organizations- IMF, The World Bank, European Central Bank.

All G20 countries are listed below (list as of 2015):

1. Australia.
2. Argentina.
3. Brazil.
4. Canada.
5. Mexico.
6. South African Republic.
7. Japan.
8. South Korea.
9. Russia.
10. India.
11. Indonesia.
12. China.
13. Saudi Arabia.
14. Turkey.
15. United Kingdom.
16. Italy.
17. Germany.
18. France.

All countries participating in this international forum are displayed in yellow on the map below (states that are included in the "Big Seven" are indicated with a more saturated shade).

G20: goals and characteristics of work

The organization was created with a single main goal: to achieve stable and sustainable growth of the world economy for the benefit of all, without exception, countries on the planet.

The main form of activity is the meetings and summits that the G20 member countries attend annually. Each year, one state is selected to be the head of the organization. The next summit is being held in it. The interim secretariat of the G20 is also located on the territory of this country.

Do not assume that the activities of the G20 are limited only to summits that are held once a year. They only outline a plan of actions and measures, work on which continues in various working groups and departments of ministries. Among the key tasks of the organization are finding ways to stabilize the economy, developing an international financial architecture, developing social infrastructure, ensuring food security, solving corruption problems, and even financing and promoting various environmental and climate programs.

At the same time, the structure of the G20 quite often lends itself to harsh criticism. Firstly, because it does not include 173 states of the planet. Secondly, for the lack of transparency in the work of the entire organization.

Annual G20 Summits

Annual summits with the participation of presidents and prime ministers of states, the G20 organization began to hold in 2008. The first of them took place in Washington and was called anti-crisis. The main issue for discussion on the agenda of the summit was the global financial crisis of 2007-2008.

In 2009 and 2010, the G-20 summit was held twice. Experts note that great importance had the Seoul Summit held in November 2010. At it, in particular, the topic of the monetary policy of the United States and China was considered. The Australian summit in Brisbane in 2014 also caused a huge resonance in the world society. It raised three pressing issues: the fight against corruption, the Ukrainian crisis and the problem of global security in general.

Russia and the G-20

In 2014, Russia was expelled from the structure, or rather, its membership in the G8 group was suspended. Thus, the G8 has returned to the G7 format again. Soon after that, information appeared that Russia was going to be deprived of the right to participate in the G20 forum.

Most critical of Russian Federation Australia is set up today. The government of the island state accuses Russia of involvement in the crash of the Boeing MN-17 in the skies over the Donbas. However, the Russian delegation was invited to the Australian summit in Brisbane. The G-20 adopted this decision in the hope that it would help "alleviate general geopolitical tensions" in the world.

Finally...

Now you know which countries are in the G20. The international organization was formed in 1999. Initially, she organized and conducted meetings and consultations of finance ministers of different states. Later, the heads of countries were involved in the G20, and the organization began to address more global problems.

The current composition of the G20 countries includes 19 independent states from different continents, as well as one collective organization - the European Union (EU).

What is discussed at the summit

The G20 Forum emerged in 1999 after the Asian financial crisis. Then the understanding came that countries with emerging market economies were not adequately represented in the global economic discussions and decision-making of the G7.

• Until 2008, the group did not hold summits at the highest level Its main form of activity was annual meetings at the level of finance ministers and heads of central banks, trade representatives and anti-corruption working groups.
• Before the formation of the G20, there were attempts to discuss financial policy issues in two broader formats. In 1997, the G33 was formed - a group of 33 countries, which was replaced in 1999 by the G22, which existed for less than a year and gave way to the G20.

Who is invited to the G20 summit

Spain is a "permanent guest" and the host country of the G20 also invites several countries. In 2016, in addition to Spain, were invited:

• Azerbaijan;
• Benin;
• Brunei;
• Cambodia;
• Chile;
• Colombia;

• Egypt;
• Equatorial Guinea;
• Ethiopia;
• Kazakhstan;
• Laos;

• Malaysia;

• Mauritania;
• Myanmar;
• Netherlands;
• New Zealand;
• Niger;
• Senegal;
• Singapore;

• Switzerland;
• Thailand;

Why the G20 Summit Matters

While the G7 is made up of wealthy countries, the G20 has leaders from both developed and developing market economies to represent a wider range of opinions.

The 2009 London Summit, in particular, discussed the transition of the world economy to sustainable growth. It was decided:

• significantly increase the resources of the IMF - up to 750 billion US dollars;
• allocate at least $ 100 billion to support additional MDB lending;
• provide US $ 250 billion in trade finance support;
• leverage additional proceeds from agreed IMF gold sales to finance the poorest countries on concessional terms.

Recall that, in 1970, in Resolution The General Assembly The UN has set the goal of providing 0.7% of the gross national income of each developed country
