Kirton on G20 priorities

August 29, 2016

The upcoming G20 forum should make green growth one of the three areas that world leaders at the summit should coordinate fiscal stimulus to support, according to University of Toronto Political Scientist John Kirton. The other two, according to Kirton are infrastructure and structural reform. G20, which first came into being as a club of the world’s major economies to tackle the global financial crisis, has now grown into the world’s primary platform for economic policy coordination, increasingly with a focus on long-term governance. It is taking place this year on September 4th and 5th in Hangzhou, China. The complete World Times article is available here.
