This week’s three-day summit in Banff, Alberta was participated by the finance ministers from the G7 countries, as well as heads of the World Bank Group (WBG), International Monetary Fund (IMF), Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and Financial Stability Board (FSB) and discussed global trade, artificial intelligence and the war in Ukraine.
“After 50 years of working together, transcending national differences and promoting global prosperity, the value of the G7 is clear,” the communique reads.
“We held a productive and frank exchange of views on the current global economic and financial situation, the risks and opportunities common to our countries, and ways to address them.”
The US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, along with chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve Jerome Powell, represented the American delegation for this portion of the summit.
The three-day meeting was concluded by the Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne who said that there was a sense of unity among the G7 members.
“The best proof of unity is that we have a joint communique,” Champagne said.
