Following the Asian financial crisis, the G20 was established in 1999 as a forum for Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors to discuss global economic and financial concerns.
Following the global economic and financial crisis of 2007, it was elevated to the level of Heads of State or Government, and it was declared the "premier forum for international economic cooperation" in 2009.
The G20 countries account for around 85% of worldwide GDP, more than 75% of global trade, and almost two-thirds of global population.
