Consider the following statements about G-20 : 1. The G-20 group was originally established as a platform for the Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors to discuss the international economic and financial issues. 2. Digital public infrastructure is one of India's G-20 priorities. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

The correct answer is Option 3 (Both 1 and 2) because both statements accurately describe the evolution and current focus of the G-20.

• Statement 1 is correct: The G-20 was established in 1999 in the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis. It was initially conceived as a forum for Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors to deliberate on global economic stability and financial regulation. It was only elevated to the level of Heads of State/Government in 2008 following the global financial crisis.
• Statement 2 is correct: During its 2023 Presidency, India centered its agenda on Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI). India successfully advocated for the "G20 Framework for Systems of Digital Public Infrastructure," emphasizing how digital identity, payment systems, and data exchange can drive financial inclusion and sustainable development.

Since both the historical origin and the contemporary priority mentioned are factually accurate, Option 3 is the right choice.
