Annual Report 2018

This report covers the programs and activities of the G30 between the end of the 2017 fiscal year (July 1, 2017) and the end of the 2018 calendar year (December 31, 2018). [...] As the Financial Times notes, “Group of Thirty is the slim- mest of organizations, but punches well above its weight.” The Times of London recognizes that the Group of Thirty is “highly influential.” Under a heavyweight Board of Trustees, the Group of Thirty continues to grapple with some of the most intractable issues facing the international banking and financial communities. [...] Frenkel, the Trustees consist of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and the Officers of the G30. [...] The Group aims to deepen the understanding of international economic and financial issues, explore the international repercussions of decisions made in the public and pri- vate sectors, and examine the choices available to market practitioners and policy makers. [...] Those estimates and assump- tions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported revenues and expenses during the reported period.
