The emergency meeting in November 2008 was held by the leaders of the G20 countries, which includes 19 countries plus the European Union. The G20 was formed in 1999 in response to the financial crises in the late 1990s and has since become the premier forum for international economic cooperation. The G7 (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States) is a smaller group of advanced economies that focuses on economic policy coordination. The OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) is a group of 36 high-income economies that promotes economic growth and development. The G8 was the group of the seven largest advanced economies (G7) plus Russia until it was suspended from the group in 2014.
