with South African Minister of Finance Enoch Godongwana
April 20, 2022

WASHINGTON - U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen met yesterday with South
African Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana to reiterate the strength of our bilateral
relationship and underscore our support for a Just Energy Transition that will enable South
Africa to sustainably achieve its climate goals and to welcome South Africaʼs leadership on
responding to COVID-19. The Secretary discussed the impact on South Africa of the
commodity shock triggered by Russiaʼs brutal invasion of Ukraine and underscored the need
for close coordination between our governments to protect our financial sectors from illicit
Russian financial activities. The Secretary also commended South Africaʼs leadership on debt
issues through the G20 Common Framework process.
