The Group of Eight grew out of an informal gathering of senior financial officials from Europe, Japan and the US who met in 1973 to discuss the oil crisis and global recession. In 1975 the heads of state attended and agreed to meet at an annual summit. This was the G6 and was composed of France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US. When Canada joined in 1976 it became the G7 and when Russia was admitted in 1998 it became the current G8. The eight are considered to be the most influential of the developed nations and, with seven of them having mature and traditional markets, from a market research viewpoint, they offer the opportunity to plot industry movement in what may become declining economies. Recent Summits have covered development in Africa, global climate change, support for peace in the Middle East, countering global terrorism and the proliferation of weapons. Health and education are important topics also covered. The Summits attract huge media interest and increasingly vociferous protest.
