History
Established as a response both to the financial crises of the late 1990s and to a growing recognition that key emerging-market countries were not adequately included in the core of global economic discussion and governance, by H-XF2036 - Group of Eight (G-8). Inaugural meeting took place 15-16 Dec 1999, Berlin (Germany), hosted by German and Canadian Finance Ministers. Superseded H-XF4647 - Group of Twenty-Two (G-22).
Aims
Promote open and constructive discussion between industrial and emerging-market countries on key issues related to global economic stability; support growth and development across the globe by contributing to strengthening of the international financial architecture and providing opportunities for dialogue on national policies, international cooperation and international financial institutions.
