Session 1: Strengthening the "G20" Trade and Investment mechanism
Dear colleagues, I would like to highlight the importance of the discussion on the G-20 countries' actions directed towards trade and investment growth in conditions when the global economy has not been placed yet on a path of sustainable growth. Moreover, provided the lack of investment resources and the formation of an international financial and economic reality in which the former model and the traditional tools are outdated, destabilized emerging markets may pose an immediate threat.
Ongoing structural changes in world trends have led to the growth rates leveling in developing and developed economies. During the period 2000-2010 difference in the average GDP growth in developed

This can be achieved through investment policy, which is based on three main pillars: firstly, the creation and maintenance of investment resources; secondly, creating conditions for the transformation of domestic savings into domestic investments, which include acroeconomic and regulatory measures aimed at increasing the level of business confidence and improving the business environment. Thirdly, stimulation of investment activity of the business environment through the mechanisms of state support.
In the short term investment growth model will be based on the infrastructure investments that would increase restrictions "supply-side economics." The rapid growth of infrastructure investments is a global trend. According to experts, the infrastructure investment in the global economy up to 2030 will amount to 3.8% of global GDP.
We understand that Russian infrastructure lacks investment judjing by world standards. As a results, it greatly impedes the growth of the
America is dependent on other nations for their ability to create energy. The United States is the world’s largest consumer of oil at 18.49 million barrels of oil per day. And it will continue to be that way for the foreseeable future considering the next largest customer of oil only consumes about 60% of what the U.S. does. This makes the U.S. vulnerable to any instability that may arise in the energy industry. In 2011, the world’s top three oil companies were Saudi Aramco (12%), National Iranian Oil Company (5%), and China National Petroleum Corp (4%). The risk associated with these countries being the top oil producers is twofold. One, they are located half way around the world making it an expensive to transport the product logistically to a desired destination. And two, the U.S. has weak, if not contentious,...
Russia, spanning 11 time zones and serving as home to about 150 million people, possesses tremendous natural and human resources. Demand today for imported consumer goods, capital equipment, and services remains remarkably strong, with imports representing an unusually large percentage of the national market. Despite outstanding long-term market potential, Russia continues to be an extremely difficult country in which to do business.
The general policing and patrolling for the G20 Summit was provided by the Toronto Police Service, Ontario Police Service, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the Canadian Forces, while the Peel Regional Police aided at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga during the arrivals of delegates. The five departments formed an Integrated Security Unit (ISU), which was similar to the one created for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. At the time I personally thought that the amount of security they had prior to the summit was quite extensive. I never considered the number of people that would be protesting, the number of “important persons” who would be at one location, or the number of incidents that were taking place which the public is not fully aware of.

The growth rate of advanced economies declined from 3.0% in 2010 to 1.3% in 2012. Even the emerging economies have slowed down in this period, due to the result of slowdown in the export markets. China’s growth declined from 10.4% in 2010 to 7.8 % in 2012. Brazil’s growth dipped from 7.5% in 2010 to 1.5% in 2012.
After their defeat in the Crimean war (1853-1856), Russia’s leaders realized they were falling behind much of Europe in terms of modernisation and industrialisation. Alexander II took control of the empire and made the first steps towards radically improving the country’s infrastructure. Transcontinental railways were built and the government strengthened Russia’s economy by promoting industrialisation with the construction of factory complexes throughout...
According to the World Economic Forum, a group of the top 1,000 businesses in the world and a leading source of world economic data, as well as economic theory, the United States ranks twelfth out of one hundred forty-four nations in infrastructure with a score of 5.8 out of 7 (Global Competitiveness). This shows that while the United States may not have a perfect infrastructure system, it still does very well when compared with other countries. In the first sub category of transport infrastructure the United States performs even better, placing ninth in the world with a score of 5.8 out of 7. This success mostly stems from our airport infrastructure. The United States ranks ninth in Quality of air transport infrastructure, with a score of 6.1 out of 7. In the category of available airline seat kilometers or how many seats per distance traveled by aircraft, America rank first in the world. The United States performs decently in the quality of roads, earning Sixteenth in the world, fifteenth in railroad infrastructure, and twelfth in port infrastructure. However, in the second category of electricity and telephony infrastructure the United States ranks twenty sixth with a score, again, of 5.8 (Global Competitiveness). This ranking largely stems from the United States’s ranking one hundred

In order for any country to survive in comparison to another developed country they must be able to grow and sustain a healthy and flourishing economy. This paper is designed to give a detailed insight of economic growth and the sectors that influence economic growth. Economic growth in a country is essential to the reduction of poverty, without such reduction; poverty would continue to increase therefore economic growth is inevitable. Through economic growth, it is also an aid in the reduction of the unemployment rate and it also helps to reduce the budget deficit of the government. Economic growth can also encourage better living standards for all it is citizens because with economic growth there are improvements in the public sectors, educational and healthcare facilities. Through economic growth social spending can also be increased without an increase of taxes.

Economic growth is one of the most important fields in economics. In current generation economic is developing well. Economic growth is really important to country and for the world as well. Economic are one of the identity for country because it shows a country development and attraction for other countries (F, Peter. 2014). For example well economic develop such as Singapore, Dubai, New York, and Japan. These countries are well develop and maintaining their economic growths. Economic growths are really important because higher average incomes enables consumers to enjoy more goods and services. Then, lower unemployment with higher output and positive economic growth firms tend to utilize more workers creating more employment. Enhanced public
Globalization, love it or hate it, but you can’t escape it. Globalization may be regarded as beneficial from an economic and business point of view, but however cannot be perceived the ditto when examined from the social sciences and humanities side of it. Globalization can be argued as a tool for economic growth, advancement and prosperity through co-operation between the developed and developing countries. The pro-globalization critics argue that the benefits that globalization brings to developing nations surpasses or outcasts the negative impacts caused by globalization and may even go a step further to state that it is the only source of hope for developing nations to prosper and stand out. However, the real question to be asked is as to what extent are the positives argued upon without taking into account the negative aspects of globalization towards developing countries. Moreover, how many developing countries out of many are exactly benefiting or even prospering from globalization is another question to consider. Therefore, my paper will dispute that indeed growth and advancement provided by globalization to developing countries is beneficial in short-term, but in the long-run, it will only bring upon negative impacts and challenges due to the obstacles involved such as exploitation of labour and resources, higher increase in poverty, and effects of multi-national corporations on local businesses and the economy, and to an extent the effects on the developing country itself.

By having a competent infrastructure meriting its accessibility will entices midpoints for productivity and consumption and thus impacts positively on the country’s economy. Additionally, more resourceful infrastructures improve mobility for people, freight services, and goods as well as a better connection between rural and urban areas.
