Established 1978 Chairman: Paul Volcker Location: Washington, D.C. Address 1726 M Street, NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20036 USA Website www.group30.org The Group of Thirty, often abbreviated to G30, is an international body of leading financiers and academics noted for its advocacy of changes in global clearing and settlement of debts. Topical areas within the interest of the group include: Foreign exchange, currency setting. International capital markets expansion International financial institutions in one-world standardization Central banks supervision and advice on financial services and markets Macroeconomic issues such as product and labor markets. The group consists of thirty members and includes the heads of major private banks and central banks, as well as members from academia and international institutions. It holds two full meetings each year and also organizes seminars, symposia, and study groups. It is based in Washington, D.C. The Group of Thirty was founded in 1978 by Geoffrey Bell at the initiative of the Rockefeller Foundation, which also provided initial funding for the body. Its first chairman was Johannes Witteveen, the former managing director of the International Monetary Fund. Its current chairman of trustees is Paul Volcker. The Bellagio Group, formed by Austrian economist Fritz Machlup, was the immediate predecessor to the Group of Thirty. It first met in 1963, to investigate international currency problems, particularly the balance of payments crisis which America faced throughout the early 1960s. The Group of Thirty espouses as a study groups to analyze issues of systemic importance to Anglo-American leading global mega-banks. Study group membership is typically broader than that of the G30, comprising experts which include various political and intelligence networks in specific fields from the regulatory, financial, media and political communities, and chaired by a leading figure. Currently the Group of Thirtys Work Program is focused on financial regulatory systems. The 2008 Financial Crisis and Its Aftermath: Addressing the Next Debt ChallengeIn June 2011, The Group of Thirty released its latest occasional paper: The 2008 Financial Crisis and It's Aftermath: Addressing the Next Debt Challenge. This report examines the most recent developments in the 2008 Financial Crisis, including the causes, responses and the future outlook for the United States and other markets. The Working Group on Macroprudential Policy published Enhancing Financial Stability and Resilience: Macroprudential Policy, Tools and Systems for the Future in late 2010 report calls on public officials to empower systemic financial regulators with new security tools to enhance economic stability and potentially lessen the severity of future economic crises. These tools would address leverage, liquidity, credit and supervision. The report underscores the fact that while policy action may be difficult and controversial but how robust (read: hijacked) action is necessary.
