Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. It was founded
in 1975 as the world reeled from the first oil shock and subsequent
financial crisis. The heads of states and governments of these countries
met for the first time to discuss the global economy and find solutions
to economic challenges. They still meet on an annual basis.

19 of the world’s leading industrial countries and emerging economies
plus the European Union. The annual summit traditionally focuses on
issues relating to global economic growth and financial market regulation.
