Story details
Finance ministers and central bank governors met in Asheville, North Carolina, on 31 August and 1 September for the second G20 Finance track meeting of 2026. The chair’s statement lists growth, productivity, global imbalances, sovereign debt and financial-sector issues among the priorities discussed.
The statement supports OECD work on how tax policies affect business dynamism and requests more detailed IMF scenario analysis, including the costs of inaction, for work on global imbalances. It records the chair’s summary of participants’ priorities and requests; it does not announce a common tax law or binding debt target.
