Reform agenda

After evolving into a leading global crisis management forum with the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers, the Group of 20 (G20) has never been short of challenges for each of its headline-grabbing meetings.

The latest case is the meeting of G20 financial ministers and central bank chiefs in Busan, South Korea, which comes right after a sovereign debt crisis has stymied European growth and threatened to hinder global recovery.

It is no surprise that G20 officials have made the recent crisis a top priority of their meeting.
