G-20: Priority Concerns
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to focus heavily on urgent global issues like the situation in Ukraine and its ramifications.
- Despite the absence of a Biden-Putin showdown, Bali’s discussions are likely to be dominated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the rising China-West friction and worries over the world’s rising prices.
- Leaders are at risk of stopping post-pandemic recovery cycles or sparking crippling financial crises as they deal with wars and geopolitical tensions.
- The nine-month-old conflict has hampered the flow of grain, oil, and natural gas, making food and energy security a major topic of discussion at the Summit. From the most advanced enterprises to the farthest-flung villages in Asia and Africa, the effects of the war are being felt.
- The private sector analysts predict a 1.5% growth in 2023, down from roughly 3% this year and the worst growth since the oil crisis of the early 1980s. The IMF anticipates 2.7% world growth in 2023.
