Janet Yellen to attend India G20 summit, focus on economy, climate: U.S. Treasury

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will travel to New Delhi to participate in the G20 leaders summit from September 7-10, making her fourth visit to India in 10 months, the Treasury Department said on Thursday.

Ms. Yellen intends to focus at the summit on strengthening the global economy and supporting low-and middle-income countries by advancing efforts on debt restructurings, the evolution of multilateral development banks (MDBs) and building International Monetary Fund trust fund resources, the Treasury said.

She will "continue to build momentum" for her drive to evolve the World Bank and other multilateral lenders to boost financing capacity to aid developing countries' clean energy transitions, tackle pandemics, fragility and conflict, it said.
