The G20  is an international forum for the governments and central bank governors from 19 countries and the European Union (EU).

It was founded in 1999, following the financial crisis, and aims to serve as a group and a platform to discuss policy pertaining to the promotion of international financial stability and other important issues.

The 2020 G20 Riyadh summit will be the fifteenth meeting of Group of Twenty. It is being held on November 21–22. The summit is now being held primarily virtually due to COVID-19.
