What's Happening?
The Group of Seven (G7) is an intergovernmental organization representing the world's largest developed economies: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The G7 meets periodically to address international economic and monetary issues, with each member taking over the presidency on a rotating basis. The G7 was formerly known as the G8 until Russia was suspended in 2014 after annexing Crimea. The European Union participates in the G7 but does not hold the presidency. The G7 focuses on resolving global problems, particularly economic issues, and has launched initiatives for debt relief and financial stability.
