G20 Finance Track deputies to discuss financing health preparedness

In few weeks, G20 Finance Ministers and Central Banks Governors (FMCBGs) will gather in Venice for the first in-person meeting under the Italian G20 Presidency. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, since February 2020, all G20 activities have been held online. Nonetheless, G20 members have been working hard to support the global economy in this current crisis and ensure that the world is better prepared to tackle the next one.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need to improve prevention, surveillance, preparedness and response to global health challenges. While experts believe that we have entered an age of pandemics, the international community is called upon to find solutions designed to mitigate the human, economic and social costs that a new crisis may generate.

Within this context, on Tuesday 15 June 2021, G20 Deputies met to advance on such a crucial G20 work stream ahead of the 9-10 July G20 FMCBG meeting.
