It is the premier forum for its members’ international economic cooperation and decision-making. Together, G20 members represent 85% of global GDP, 75% of international trade and two-thirds of the world’s population.  It reflects a recognition that global prosperity is interdependent and economic opportunities and challenges are interlinked.
