G20 Economy (2026)

19 countries + EU · ~85% of global GDP · Source: IMF · Updated April 2026

G20 Economic Overview

The Group of Twenty (G20) is the premier forum for international economic cooperation, bringing together the world's 19 largest economies plus the European Union. G20 members account for approximately 85% of global GDP, 75% of international trade, and two-thirds of the world's population. The G20 was elevated from a finance ministers' forum to a leaders' summit during the 2008 financial crisis, recognizing that global economic challenges require coordination beyond the G7.

The G20 spans the full spectrum of economic development: from high-income economies like the United States ($92,883 GDP per capita) to emerging markets like Indonesia and India. This diversity makes consensus difficult but ensures that G20 decisions reflect global economic realities rather than just advanced-economy perspectives.
