Research Group Releases Report on Implementation of G20 Decisions

An international network of scholars under the leadership of the International Organizations Research Institute of the National Research University Higher School of Economics (IORI HSE) and the G20 Research Group of the University of Toronto has released a draft report which reviews G20 members' implementation of the commitments made at G20 summits. Areas include implementation of commitments on structural reforms and overcoming imbalances, reform of international financial institutions and financial markets regulation. The analysis includes an assessment of compliance with the commitments to resist protectionism and to rationalize and phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies.

The analysis of development commitments includes an evaluation of the decisions in key areas agreed at the 2010 Seoul Summit. These cover infrastructure, private investment and job creation, human resource development, trade, financial inclusion, growth with resilience, food security, domestic resource mobilization and knowledge sharing. To stimulate the dialogue on the G20's future agenda, each section and respective pieces of the executive summary conclude with recommendations for the G20's future actions. The recommendations are also summed up in a separate section for the readers' convenience.
