"Other countries, as well as international companies, are adjusting their policies and strategies for development in accordance with the decisions taken in G20 forums," Ciuksys continued.
"The cooperation between G20 and other countries could be directed in diversifying collaboration formats and even broader involvement of economic policymakers and business leaders from other countries. We see that G20 countries (members) are moving to this direction of cooperation and it's very positive," he stressed.

Lithuania "will benefit from all the decisions of G20 summit," said the expert.
"There are many companies having plans for sales development in different markets, including China. Having such structure of the economy, we are very exposed to any good news from such forums."
Talking about China, Ciuksys said,"China's balanced economic growth and 'new normal' phase of development will be a dominating catalyst of the world's economy for many years to come."
