About the G20
The G20 was established in 1999 and elevated to leader-level summits in 2008 in response to the global financial crisis. It includes 19 countries plus the European Union, and the African Union joined as a permanent member in 2023. Membership is not a list of the 20 largest economies: several economies larger than some members, such as Spain and the Netherlands, are not members. The table above covers the 19 countries and the EU aggregate.
G20 governments use debt financing to fund infrastructure, social programs, defense, and emergency responses. The aggregate debt of G20 nations has grown substantially since 2008, with the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2021) adding trillions in new borrowing across all member economies.
