Finance expert Mike Periu on the G20 Finance Ministers’ discussion of a potential global recession next year.
The Group of 20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors, also known as the G20, is an influential group composed of the top financial representatives of the 19 largest economies in the world and the European Union’s Central Bank Chief. The G20 was formed in 1999 and they meet regularly to address financial and economic issues impacting the global economy.
The most recent G20 meeting, which met in Mexico City, has raised numerous concerns about the possibility of a global recession next year. The top concerns are:
- Europe’s inability to reach a consensus on how to address the economic crisis in Greece and Spain
- Disagreement on whether Europe should create a “banking union” to minimize financial risks
- The U.S. Fiscal Cliff
- Weakening economic growth in emerging markets especially China
- Economic problems emerging in Japan.
