Minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan said the G20 meeting in Russia is taking place under very critical recessions.

Gordhan said the sessions will decide whether we are going to throw the global into another recession or whether we are able to get the kind of collective action that is required. 

Gordhan said they need to find a way of boosting growth in the big emerging market economies, and generally turn around the fortunes of the world so that we can get more inclusive growth and job creation. 

He added that there have been discussions going on for the past few days amongst officials representing each of the countries.

“There’s an understanding, which is very important that when big economies do certain things, like quantitative using which is putting in R85 billion dollars a month into the financial system of the world and the United States,” added Gordhan.

He also said there are also both good affects and negative affects on countries elsewhere in the world and for the past few years there has been good money coming into most of the emerging markets.
