The Federal Government has announced Cairns as the host city for the G20 Finance Ministers’ and Central Bank Governors’ meeting in 2014.

 

The meeting will bring together leaders, Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors from major developing and advanced economies to address the critical economic and financial challenges facing the world’s economy.

 

“This is an important and complex meeting to organise and it is critical for the Commonwealth, State and local governments to work together, and that is exactly what we plan to do to deliver a successful meeting,” Prime Minister Julia Gillard said in a statement.

 

“We will announce shortly the location for a second Finance Ministers' and Central Bank Governors' meeting. The dates for these meetings are still to be finalised.”
