Among the many important “G Groups” that the United States participates in are the G-7 and the G-20. The Group of Seven Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors, which includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, have met regularly since the mid-1980s. The Group of 20 was formally established in 1999 to bring together major industrialized and developing economies to discuss key issues in the global economy. The members of the G20 are the finance ministers and central bank governors of 19 countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, the U.K. and the U.S., as well as the European Union, represented by the rotating council presidency and the European Central Bank.
