The two-day weekend meeting at Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk hotel is one of the eight ministerial gatherings being held throughout Japan alongside the G20 Summit in Osaka in late June. The meeting will be attended by the European Central Bank’s outgoing President Mario Draghi, the World Bank’s new chief David Malpass, and International Monetary Fund head Christine Lagarde.
In the first half of the day, the G20 representatives will discuss global taxation, corporate governance systems, and new challenges in the field of developing technologies. A focal point of the discussion will be the taxation of global tech companies, such as Apple, Google, and others.
The participants of the meeting will also discuss measures to minimise risks to the global economy in light of the ongoing trade war between the United States and China.
