At the G20 Summit in Hangzhou (China) in 2016, the focus was on strengthening long-term inclusive growth of the global economy. The summit also looked at linking sustainable growth and social welfare. Digital economy as an important driver of development and growth became part of the G20 agenda for the first time during China’s Presidency in 2016. G20 Leaders also adopted the “G20 Action Plan on 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, which has since become the guiding document for G20’s work on “sustainable development”.
