A powerful new forum for shaping business and foreign economic policy is emerging called the B-20.
Since their first meeting in 2010, they have met regularly on the sidelines of the G-20 Summits – in South Korea (2010), France (2011), Mexico (2012), Russia (2013) and Australia (2014). This year, Turkey is the president of the G-20 and therefore its leadership of the B-20 will be closely watched.
So far, the B-20 has made over 400 recommendations to the world’s leaders on a range of business issues from infrastructure to energy. Many have been incorporated into the final G-20 vision.
