As in the previous years the B20 activities will focus on achievement of our common goal of strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth.
B20 Argentina established eight taskforces which will elaborate the business recommendations to the G20 leaders. The task forces will focus on employment and education; digital economy and industry 4.0; financing growth and infrastructure; trade and investment; energy and climate sustainability; food; SMEs development; and integrity and compliance. Representatives of Russian companies participate in the task forces as co-chairs and members to provide continuity of the B20 work and promote Russian business priorities.
A key event of the presidency – B20 summit will be held in Buenos Aires (Argentina) in November 2018 on the even of the G20 leaders` summit.
