About G7
▪ The G7 (Group of Seven) is an informal forum of the world’s most advanced economies
— France, Germany, Italy, the UK, Japan, the US, and Canada.
▪ The G7 was formed in 1975 as the G6 (US, UK, France, West Germany, Japan, Italy) in response to the 1973 oil crisis and financial turmoil, with Canada joining in 1976 to make it G7. The year 2025 marked the 50th anniversary of the G7.
▪ It became G8 in 1997 with the inclusion of Russia, but reverted to G7 in 2014 after Russia’s
expulsion over the annexation of Crimea.
