READOUT: First Meeting of the Financial Working Group
Between the United States and the People’s Republic of China
October 25, 2023

WASHINGTON – Following the first meeting of the Economic Working Group on Monday, the
United States and the Peopleʼs Republic of China today held the first meeting of the Financial
Working Group (FWG), which serves as an ongoing channel for both countries to discuss
financial policy matters and cooperation on common challenges. The two-hour virtual meeting
included a substantive and wide-ranging discussion on domestic and global financial stability,
financial supervision and regulation, sustainable finance, and anti-money laundering and
countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT). U.S. o icials also frankly raised areas of
disagreement. The meeting was led by senior o icials from the U.S. Department of the
Treasury and the Peopleʼs Bank of China, with participation by other regulatory agencies.
The FWG was launched last month alongside the Economic Working Group, following
Secretary Janet L. Yellenʼs trip to Beijing in July. These working groups carry out President
Bidenʼs directive last year to deepen communication between the two countries. Both
working groups report directly to Secretary Yellen and Vice Premier He Lifeng.
