Group of Six

The Group of Six was an informal team of six financial leaders from major Western economies—United States, Japan, Germany, France, Britain, and Italy—formed in 1975. They collaborated to coordinate economic policies and address global financial issues like inflation, exchange rates, and economic growth. Although not an official organization, their cooperation helped shape international economic policies during a turbulent period following the collapse of the Bretton Woods system. Their discussions laid groundwork for later economic forums, promoting dialogue among these key nations to stabilize and support the global economy.
