The statement said the long-term stability of oil markets will be the key to the success of reforms that the G20 members have pledged and to the group’s economic growth, which is expected to increase 2.1% in the next 5 years. G20 leaders also agreed to foster energy co-operation and hold a meeting of energy ministers next year to discuss reforms in the global energy system.
