The Federal Minister of Finance, Christian Lindner, together with the President of the Deutsche Bundesbank, Joachim Nagel, will host and lead the work process of the G7 finance ministers and central bank governors until 31 December 2022.

Here, G7 finance ministers and central bank governors will discuss current issues and challenges in the area of finance policy.

Germany is pursuing the following work priorities under the so-called “G7 Finance Track”:

• Sustainable economic recovery from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic
• Strengthening the financial stability and resilience of national economies to cope with future crises
• Shaping the upcoming transformation processes in the context of digitalisation and climate neutrality

In addition to these priorities, the finance ministers and central bank governors will also continue to pursue items from the previous G7 agenda. These include issues relating to IMF business policy as well as the activities of the multilateral development banks and their governance.

The first meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors under the German G7 Presidency took place on 1 March 2022. The next meeting took place in Bonn and Königswinter from 18 to 20 May 2022.
