G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting concludes the first day of discussions. Opinions were expressed on matters such as the prolonged Russian invasion of Ukraine and the impact of the tense situation in the Middle East on the world economy.
The G20 continues to be unable to align itself due to differences in stance regarding Russia's invaded of Ukraine, etc., and the focus will be on whether each country can demonstrate a unified stance. Meanwhile, a meeting of the G7 = seven major countries was held locally prior to the G20 meeting.
