ICC calls on G20 to deliver Four-Point Agenda for Growth and Jobs

The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) on 13 November 2015 called on world leaders gathering in Antalya this weekend for the 2015 G20 Summit to commit to a four-point agenda to revitalise Gross Domestic product (GDP) growth and kick-start job creation across the world’s largest economies.

The ICC-led B20 International Business Advisory Council (IBAC) has outlined four key areas for urgent action:

1. Ratify and implement the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA);

2. Take concrete actions to create more opportunities for women and young people in the labour market;

3. Establish country-specific infrastructure strategies to boost investment in much-needed infrastructure projects worldwide; and

4. Improve SME access to finance.
