September 5, 2015 – Ankara, Turkey – Department of Finance

Finance Minister Joe Oliver today concluded his participation at the G-20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting, held from September 4 to 5, 2015, in Ankara, Turkey.

The G-20 is the premier forum for international economic cooperation, with members accounting for 85% of global output and two-thirds of the world's population.
A key focus of the G-20 has been to foster strong, sustainable and balanced global growth through collective actions.
At the Ankara meeting, Canada encouraged other G-20 members to implement the growth strategies put forward at the 2014 Brisbane Summit. These strategies, if fully implemented, are expected to lift the G-20's collective gross domestic product by 2.1% by 2018.
