G20 finance ministers and central bank governors met here earlier this week to discuss ways to boost economic growth, as impending U.S. import tariffs on steel and aluminum cast a pall over the gathering. Most ministers agreed that the tariffs, set to take effect on Friday, fly in the face of the central tenet of today's developed and emerging economies that protectionist measures only inhibit trade and growth. http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-03/22/c_137057150.htm


Trade ministers meeting
-中國商務部新聞發言人沈丹陽昨日說,G20貿易部長會議將於今年7月9日-10日在上海舉行,商務部是G20貿易投資合作的國內牽頭部門。據新華社報道,沈丹陽在商務部例行新聞發佈會上說,當前,全球貿易增速放緩,經濟增長引擎作用減弱,G20成員加強貿易投資合作的意願非常強烈。在此背景下,經中方倡議,2015年G20領導人要求貿易部長定期舉行會議,並同意成立支持性工作組。中方希望各方通過貿易部長會議和系列工作組會議,就加強G20貿易投資機制建設、促進全球貿易增長、支持多邊貿易體制、促進投資政策協調與合作、促進包容協調的全球價值鏈等議題展開深入討論,並爭取實現三項主要目標。一是加強G20貿易投資領域合作,推進貿易部長會議機制化進程,使G20在全球經貿治理方面發揮更大作用;二是為支持多邊貿易體制作出更多貢獻,包括反對保護主義、加強區域貿易協定與多邊貿易體制的協調以及探討內羅畢會議後多邊貿易體制發展方向;三是推動全球貿易投資恢復強勁增長,爭取制訂全球貿易增長戰略、全球投資合作框架、全球價值鏈能力建設戰略計劃等合作倡議。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2016/02/18/a15-0218.pdf

-http://paper.takungpao.com/resfile/PDF/20160405/PDF/a8_screen.pdf4月4日,二十國集團(G20)貿易投資工作組第二次會議在南京開幕。中國商務部副部長王受文出席開幕式並致辭。他指出,當前全球經濟仍處於深度調整期。過去四年,貿易增速連續低於經濟增速,對經濟增長的引擎作用有所減弱,引起各方高度關注。G20作為國際經濟合作主要論壇,應對此拿出應對方案。 王受文指出,在1月底北京舉行的貿易投資工作組第一次會議上,中方提出加強G20機制建設、促進全球貿易增長、支持多邊貿易體制、促進全球投資政策合作與協調、促進包容協調的全球價值鏈發展等五大合作領域,得到各方廣泛支持。中方期待與各方共同努力,在上述領域實現以下成果,提交7月貿易部長會議和9月杭州峰會:
  一是加強G20貿易投資機制建設,確定《G20貿易投資工作組工作職責》,明確工作組工作目標、討論範圍、運行模式,定期舉行貿易部長會議,為G20貿易投資合作提供有力機制保障。
  二是制訂G20全球貿易增長戰略,就降低貿易成本、促進電子商務、增強貿易融資、發展服務貿易等提出具體行動或政策建議,促進全球貿易增長。
  三是為支持多邊貿易體制作出更多貢獻,包括反對保護主義、增強區域貿易協定透明度,加快批准和實施《貿易便利化協定》,推動多邊貿易談判和討論。
  助中小企融入全球價值鏈
  四是制訂全球投資政策非約束性指導原則,為各成員制訂國內投資政策和商談對外投資協定提供指引,改善全球投資政策“碎片化”現象。此外,爭取就投資便利化、加強對低收入國家支持、貿易和投資政策協調等實現具體成果。
  五是制訂全球價值鏈能力建設戰略計劃,通過建立合作平台、舉辦研討會、開展案例研究等,幫助發展中國家和中小企業融入全球價值鏈並從中實現更多獲益。
  王受文強調,一直以來,工商界都在呼籲G20加強貿易投資合作。中方期待與各方共同努力,推動G20在經貿領域取得一系列積極務實成果提交杭州峰會。
  G20貿易投資工作組由中方倡議成立。本次工作組會議將歷時兩天。7月6日至7日,工作組還將在上海舉行第三次會議,為7月9日至10日舉行的貿易部長會議做最後階段準備工作。
http://paper.takungpao.com/resfile/PDF/20160710/PDF/a13_screen.pdf, 2016年二十國集團(G20)貿易部長會議昨日於上海開幕,中國商務部部長高虎城指出,G20正由一個危機應對機制轉變為促進經濟增長平台。分析認為,當下全球經濟疲軟,保護主義抬頭,G20成員國間要達成實質性協議困難重重,惟中英自由貿易協定被高看一眼。會前英國貿易及投資大臣向中國高調示好,並直言「是時候開始探索關於貿易協定的各種選項」。內地資深國際貿易專家表示,當前英國亟需尋求其他市場,中國的分量無可替代。英國很可能借此探路,與中國啟動自由貿易協定(FTA)談判。英國脫歐後,將有更大自由度與其他國家談判貿易協定。英國《金融時報》報道稱,赴滬出席G20會議前一日,英國貿易及投資大臣普睿勳爵(Lord Mark Price)已迫不及待在北京透露,指「現在是時候開始探索關於貿易協定的各種選項。」http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2016/07/10/a10-0710.pdf

Ita
http://www.scmp.com/tech/china-tech/article/1984097/progress-global-tech-tariff-cuts-may-hinge-chinas-g20-efforts Proponents of a global deal to remove tariffs on more information and communications technology products, which came into force on Friday, are hoping the upcoming G20 meetings in mainland China will help speed up its implementation.The United States, China and more than 50 other economies on December 16 wrapped up negotiations to widen the scope of the Information Technology Agreement (ITA), which is expected to boost the global economy by an estimated US$190 billion annually.That expanded agreement, which was signed at the 10th World Trade Organisation (WTO) Ministerial Conference in Nairobi, capital of Kenya, eliminate annual tariffs worth US$1.3 trillion on 201 product lines from July 1 this year.The first wave of tariff cuts, however, will not likely be implemented by some ITA signatories as scheduled because of the slow progress by China, South Korea and Japan, according to John Neuffer, the president and chief executive of the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA).“While most signatories to the ITA have ably completed the technical work they needed ... to live up to the commitments they made in Nairobi to implement on July 1, there are some notable slow pokes,” Neuffer told the South China Morning Post.

Anti corruption
- http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-china-corruption-g-idUKKCN0XH0AD China suspended an international anti-corruption task force earlier this year after taking over the G20 presidency, according to six individuals in the group, who called it a setback to global efforts to crack down on shell companies used to conceal assets. The so-called "Business 20" Anti-Corruption Taskforce, comprising businesses and civil society groups, had been drawing up G20 policies for increasing transparency of offshore financial structures, among other work, but the body was scrapped in late January because Chinese companies declined to participate, according to the sources. China is one of several countries under pressure to share data on paper companies after the "Panama Papers", documents from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, revealed how the rich and powerful use such structures to avoid taxes and in some cases conceal ill-gotten gains. They were published by German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung and more than 100 other international news outlets. The B20, the G20's business outreach arm, and its various task forces are by convention led by companies from the nation holding the presidency. The state-run China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), this year's head of the B20, did not provide an explanation for suspending the anti-corruption task force and did not respond to several emails, faxes and phone calls requesting comment. But three people who had worked on the task force, who represented international, U.S. and European institutions, said the trade group could not persuade a Chinese company to take on the role of leading the task force, even though around 150,000 Chinese businesses are effectively state-run.
