The Group of 20 (G-20) is a global policy forum of 20 countries—represented by the world’s 20 largest economies (19 countries and one seat for the EU)—to discuss critical issues in the global economy and work together on solutions. The G-20 was founded in September 1999 following the Asian financial crisis as a forum to help coordinate responses to international economic crises, particularly in emerging markets, which were not represented by the Group of Seven (G-7).
The Group of G20 (G20) comprises Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States along with the European Union. G20 members currently account for more than 80% of world GDP, 75% of global trade, and 60% of the global population.

The G-20 initially grew out of an effort by the United States in 1998 to coordinate a collective response to the Asian financial crisis, which led to meetings with a G-22. The G-22 consisted of central bankers and finance ministers from the current G-20 countries (minus Turkey and the European Union) with the addition of Hong Kong, Malaysia, Poland and Thailand. Since the G-22 was an ad hoc group assembled to deal with a specific crisis, meetings of the G-22 ended once the Asian financial crisis was resolved.
