The G20 = finance ministers and central bank governors meeting of 20 major countries began in Brazil. Discussions will include the protracted Russian invasion of Ukraine and the tense situation in the Middle East.
Opinions will also be exchanged on the impact of interest rate hikes that countries in Europe, the United States, and other countries have been promoting in response to inflation. 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.
