G20 formation

The formation of the G20 occurred in 1999, arising from the international community’s disappointment with the failure of the G7. Especially when the G7 is looking for solutions to global economic problems faced at that time. The view expressed at that time was in the interests of the state.

Some countries have middle income and which have a systemic economic influence. The economy that is followed systemically will later be included in the negotiations in order to find solutions to global economic problems.

This forum then summarizes developed and developing countries to jointly overcome the main crises that hit Asia, Russia, and the Latin American region. Initially, the G20 was a meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors.

Although the G20 Summit has also been attended by heads of state since 2008, in 2010 a discussion on the development sector was formed.

The G20 certainly has a very real role in economic developments that occur. The real roles of the g20 are as follows:

  • The first role was in handling the global financial crisis in 2008. The G20 has been credited with helping the world get back on track for growth and pushing for reforms in the financial sector.
  • The G20 also plays an important role in tax policy, as the G20 has spurred the OECD. In other words, the OECD is spurred on to encourage the exchange of tax-related information. Of course, this is done to end tax evasion, which is happening in the Indonesian economy.
  • The G20 has an important contribution to make in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, which includes deferring payments on foreign debt for low-income countries. The injection for handling conflict 19 includes reducing and eliminating import duties and taxes. This handling is also closely related to reducing duties for vaccines, hand sanitizers, disinfectants and medical devices.
  • The G20 has other issues such as trade between countries, climate and development.

G20 Background

The background for the formation of the G20 began with the 1998 financial crisis. At that time, an opinion emerged at the G7 forum about the ineffectiveness of a meeting if it did not involve economic powers. The emergence of these decisions gave birth to decisions that made them have more influence.

This more leverage is used to listen to interests that may not be included in small groups. This group accounts for almost 90% of gross national product, with 80% of total world trade and 2/3 of the world’s population.

As an economic forum, the G20 is more of a forum for consultation and cooperation. The cooperation covers matters relating to the international monetary system. Of course there are regular meetings to review and encourage discussion between developed and developing industrialized countries.

The discussion is also closely related to policy, which leads to international financial stability. So that problem solving efforts can be sought and overcome by one particular country. The G20 is an international organization owned by the world, and it must be collaborated.

Which countries are in the G20?

The G20 is a group of 19 countries with the largest economies in the world. This is coupled with an intergovernmental and supranational organization, namely the European Union. Officially, the G20 is called the group of twenty finance ministers and central bank governors.

The G20 was formed in 1999 as a forum between governments, systematically bringing together developed and developing economies. In which the economy discusses important issues of the world economy. The inaugural G20 meeting took place in Berlin, from 15 to 16 December 1999. The hosts of the first G20 meeting were the finance ministers of Germany and Canada.

Countries that are included in the G20 are Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Great Britain, South Korea, Russia, South Africa, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, European Union, India, Japan and other countries.
