G7 or G-7 or Group of Seven was the meeting of the
finance ministers from the group of seven industrialized nations of the world, formed in 1976 when
Canada joined the Group of Six (
France,
Germany,
Italy,
Japan,
United Kingdom,
United States of America).It is not to be confused with the
G8 which is when the
heads of state of the aforementioned nations plus
Russia meet annually. That meeting is generally considered more important than the G7.The G-7 consists of the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Canada. The leaders of these countries meet annually to discuss political and economic issues of mutual concern, these meeting have been supplanted by the G8. In addition, G-7 finance ministers meet several times a year to discuss economic policy, to which Russia is not a party. Their work is supported by regular, functional meetings of officials, including the G-7 Finance Deputies.
