G7 Countries — The Group of Seven

The G7 (Group of Seven) is an intergovernmental forum of the world's largest advanced economies: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Together, G7 nations account for about 46% of global GDP and 10% of the world's population. The group meets annually to discuss and coordinate policy on economic issues, security, energy, and global challenges. The European Union also participates as a non-enumerated member. Russia was suspended from the group (formerly G8) in 2014 following the annexation of Crimea.
