Finance ministers and central bank governors of the G20 group of nations kicked off a two-day meeting on Feb. 17 with a stark warning that the Russia–Ukraine tensions pose a threat to the post-pandemic economic recovery and to world peace.
The Group of 20 meeting is being held in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, with the country’s president delivering opening remarks that highlighted a series of threats facing the international community, including surging inflation, snarled supply chains, and the risks to world peace and the global economic rebound if Russia–Ukraine tensions spiral out of control.
