# G20 Presidency in 2024 - Solution
The G20 presidency rotates annually among member nations, and understanding the timeline of these transitions helps identify which country held the presidency in any given year.
Step 1: Understanding G20 Presidency Rotation
The G20 is a group of 20 major economies that holds an annual presidency. Each country serves as president for one calendar year and hosts major summits and meetings during their tenure. The presidency typically rotates geographically and strategically among developed and developing nations.
Step 2: Identifying 2024's G20 President
Brazil assumed the G20 presidency on January 1, 2024, following India's presidency in 2023. India had hosted G20 meetings in various Indian cities including Delhi during 2023. Brazil, as the 2024 president, hosted the major G20 meetings in Rio de Janeiro, one of its most important cities.
