RonWest: Latest news shows that the World Bank now ranks Poland as the 18th largest economy in the world. (This is outstanding progress in my opinion, in just 20 short years).
You are in....in the EU slot!

5. What are the criteria for G-20 membership?
In a forum such as the G-20, it is particularly important for the number of countries involved to be restricted and fixed to ensure the effectiveness and continuity of its activity.
There are no formal criteria for G-20 membership and the composition of the group has remained unchanged since it was established.
In view of the objectives of the G-20, it was considered important that countries and regions of systemic significance for the international financial system be included. Aspects such as geographical balance and population representation also played a major part.
I don't think that Poland's economy isn't good enough it seems rather that the economy isn't everything for the G-20.
I rather think that it will be hard for yet another EU-member state to get yet another "extra-place"....as the G-20 are already 19+EU.
