Question: What research group is an independent source of information for the group of countries consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States

 These countries represent more than 64% of the net global wealth ($263 trillion) and all have a very high Human Development Index.  The G7 countries also represent 46% of the global GDP evaluated at market exchange rates and 32% of the global purchasing power parity GDP. The Group of 7 (G7) is a group consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.  The European Union is also represented within the G7. <SEP> The Financial Stability Forum (FSF) was a group consisting of major national financial authorities such as finance ministries, central bankers, and international financial bodies.  The Forum was founded in 1999 to promote international financial stability.  Its founding resulted from discussions among Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors of the G7 countries, and a study which they commissioned.  The Forum facilitated discussion and co-operation on supervision and surveillance of financial institutions, transactions and events.  FSF was managed by a small secretariat housed at the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland.  The FSF membership included about a dozen nations who participate through their central banks, financial ministries and departments, and securities regulators, including: the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands and several other industrialized economies as well as several international economic organizations.  At the G20 summit on November 15, 2008 it was agreed that the membership of the FSF will be expanded to include emerging economies, such as China.  The 2009 G-20 London summit decided to establish a successor to the FSF, the Financial Stability Board.  The FSB includes members of the G20 who were not members of FSF. <SEP> The G7 Research Group (formerly the G8 Research Group) is an independent source of information, analysis and research on the institutions, issues and members of the Group of Seven (formerly the Group of Eight) and the G7 Summit. <SEP> Hungary is a source, transit, and destination country for women and girls subjected to trafficking in persons, specifically forced prostitution and a source country for men and women in conditions of forced labor.  Women from Hungary are forced into prostitution in the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Greece, and the United States.  Women from eastern Hungary are subjected to forced prostitution in Budapest and areas in Hungary along the Austrian border.  Roma women and girls who grow up in Hungarian orphanages are highly vulnerable to internal forced prostitution.  Men from Western Europe travel to Budapest for the purpose of adult sex tourism, some of which may involve the exploitation of trafficking victims.  Men and women are subjected to conditions of forced labor within Hungary.  Women from Romania and Ukraine are transported through Hungary to the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, and the United Arab Emirates where they are subsequently subjected to forced prostitution; some of these victims may be exploited in Hungary before they reach their final destination country.
