Abstract

​

Leaders from the Group of Twenty (G20) major economies will gather in Hangzhou, China in September 2016 to address a range of shared governance priorities. This year’s Chinese presidency has identified trade and investment as a key priority for the 2016 summit, interconnected to and supportive of three other focus areas including growth, economic and financial governance, and inclusive and interconnected development. The International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD) has provided inputs into the G20’s consultative process around trade and investment in order to generate ideas for its work in the mid and long term.
