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.
