Scheduling The G20 Finance Track Presented by Wayne Greenwood Managing Director Priority Management Australia

The G20 isn’t just a meeting that happens once a year. (Lowy Institute) The G20 operates throughout the year and regular meetings between national finance ministers and central bank governors take place to monitor developments in the international economy and provide appropriate policy responses. Depending on the issue, there are also meetings that involve ministers and ministries of foreign affairs, labour, agriculture, and energy. At the high-profile leaders’ summit, G20 country leaders and the EU Commission President agree on a statement of policy action. In 2014, there were more than 60 G20-related meetings, and nearly 8000 delegates attended the leaders’ summit in Brisbane.

Who is responsible for leading the G20 ? Each year the G20 is hosted by a different G20 member country, which takes on the G20 presidency. The G20 president defines the G20 agenda during its host year, organises the yearly leaders’ summit, and coordinates the many G20 meetings. The G20 presidency works on a ‘troika’ basis. This means the current G20 president will have input from the president from the previous year, and the upcoming president. In 2015, Australia, Turkey, and China will be working together to ensure continuity in G20 commitments and aims. The G20 presidency works on a ‘troika’ basis.

Treasury’s Role in the G20 The Treasury led the policy development and logistics for the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meetings (also known as the G20 finance track) and related preparatory meetings. The G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meetings were a critical part of the preparatory process to support the Leaders’ Summit which was held in Brisbane in November 2014. The finance track composed of G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors who met regularly during the year to discuss the key global macroeconomic policy issues and take coordinated action towards their solutions. International organisations such as the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the United Nations also attended these meetings.
