3/16

one day earlier than previously

scheduled.[47]Also, this is the first G8

summit, in which one of the core leaders

(Vladimir Putin) declined to participate

because of speculative reasons. This G8

summit concentrated on the core leaders

only; no non-G8 leaders or international

organizations were invited.

TBD

Britain hopes to refocus the event, possibly

by discussing a single issue such as the

Middle East and inviting key players, such

asTurkeyorIsrael.David Cameronis

critical of the value and cost of the G8 if

there is too much focus on communiqus

as opposed to building trust between world

leaders. He has been looking at the idea of

attaching the G8 summit to another eventsuch as theUN general assembly.[48]

G-20 major economiesThe Group of Twenty Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (also known as the G-20, G20, and Group of

Twenty) is a group offinance ministersandcentral bankgovernors from 20 major economies: 19 countries plustheEuropean Union, which is represented by thePresidentof theEuropean Counciland by theEuropean Central Bank.

Collectively, the G-20 economies account for more than 80 percent of the globalgross national product(GNP),[4]80 percentofworld trade(including EU intra-trade) and two-thirds of theworld population.[3]They furthermore account for84.1 percentand 82.2 percent of the world's economic growth by nominal GDP and GDP (PPP) respectively from the years 2010 to2016, according to theInternational Monetary Fund(IMF).

The G-20 was proposed by former Canadian Finance MinisterPaul Martin[(later, Prime Minister) for cooperation and

consultation on matters pertaining to theinternational financial system. It studies, reviews, and promotes discussion(among key industrial and emerging market countries) of policy issues pertaining to the promotion of international financialstability, and seeks to address issues that go beyond the responsibilities of any one organization. With the G-20 growing instature since the2008 Washington summit, its leaders announced on September 25, 2009, that the group will replacetheG8as the main economic council of wealthy nations.
