G20 finance chiefs expressed optimism about achieving a “soft landing” for the global economy, despite ongoing challenges. In their final communique, they called for resisting protectionism. The statement avoided mentioning the Russia-Ukraine war or conflicts in the Middle East, reflecting divided opinions on whether such topics should be addressed by the group. While Brazil, the current G20 president, acknowledged these differing views, it will hold further discussions on the conflicts in preparation for the G20 summit in November.
