forum to meet and discuss global economic cooperation and policy coordination. The
European Union and 19 other nations make up the G20, sometimes known as the Group of
Twenty. With a major fraction of the world's population and GDP, these member nations make
up a sizable portion of the global economy. The members of G20 are: Argentina, Australia,
Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea,
Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, United Kingdom and United States and
the European Union.
