Question

How many countries are members of the G20?

Answer

The answer is not 20! (That would be too easy!)

Membership of the G20 consists of 19 countries and the EU (which is represented by the European Commission and the European Central Bank).

So, probably, the answer is 19.

However, the EU consists of 28 countries, 4 of which are G20 members in their own right. That leaves 24 countries which (arguably) are G20 members indirectly via the EU. 19 + 24 = 43!

The final answer: 19
