Is the G7 still changing the global economy? | | Business and Economy

For nearly half a century, the Group of Seven (G7) has helped to shape the international system.

But today’s world looks very different from the one the international community was created to lead. Economic influence is widespread. A new powerhouse is coming. And long-held views are being challenged.

This week, G7 leaders will meet for their annual summit in Evian-les-Bains in seaside France, as hostilities escalate in Ukraine and the Middle East.

Trade disputes are escalating. The decades-old alliance is in trouble. And questions are mounting about the organizations that supported the World War II plan.
