At the top of this agenda is Europe's debt crisis. The Ministers will also discuss medium-term growth framework and how to solve economic imbalances which caused the global financial crisis. Canada, the current G20 president, hopes to secure an agreement in Toronto on the broad suite of policies needed to reduce these imbalances. Individual countries would then commit themselves to specific policies at the next G20 summit in Seoul in November.
