The Group of 20 finance ministers have reiterated their commitment to a global economic growth target. This is despite new projections showing that the two per cent growth target for 2018 set at the G20 summit in Brisbane in 2014 is unlikely to be achieved. Australian Treasurer Scott Morrison and his predecessor Joe Hockey say this growth target is still relevant. Adam Triggs of the Australian National University says the latest forecasts from the International Monetary Fund suggest that the global economy will be worth $US117.7trn by 2018, rather than the target of $US123.9trn set in 2014.
