How this resolves

The numeric-target market resolved on the G7 leaders' declaration on critical minerals published by the Élysée on 17 June 2026.

The pattern behind it

2 of 4
Two of the last four headline G7 economic pledges delivered on schedule. The split is genuine and it tracks design: the ERA loans and the minerals action plan had mechanisms and owners; B3W and PGII had press releases and aggregates. The Évian alliance has a number but is explicitly non-binding, which puts it between the two camps.

We looked at the last four big G7 economic pledges. Two delivered on time and two faded away. The two that worked had a named way to move money and a clear number. The two that failed were broad plans with little behind them.
