Statement from Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen on the
Global Minimum Tax Agreement
October 30, 2021

ROME — Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen released the following statement on the
historic endorsement of the global minimum tax by G20 countries:
"Today, every G20 head of state endorsed an historic agreement on new international tax
rules, including a global minimum tax that will end the damaging race to the bottom on
corporate taxation. It’s a critical moment for the US & the global economy. I congratulate
President Biden on this important achievement.
This deal will remake the global economy into a more prosperous place for American
business & workers. Rather than competing on our ability to o er lower rates, America will
now compete on the skills of our people, our ideas, & our capacity to innovate — which is a
race we can win."
