Treasury Department Announces Launch of Economic and
Financial Working Groups with the People’s Republic of China
September 22, 2023

Today, the United States and the Peopleʼs Republic of China launched an Economic Working
Group and a Financial Working Group under the direction of Secretary of the Treasury Janet
Yellen and Vice Premier He Lifeng. The two Working Groups will provide ongoing structured
channels for frank and substantive discussions on economic and financial policy matters, as
well as an exchange of information on macroeconomic and financial developments. The
formation of these Working Groups builds on the consensus reached between Secretary Yellen
and Vice Premier He during the Secretaryʼs trip to Beijing in July, and carries out President
Bidenʼs directive to deepen communication between the two countries following his meeting
with President Xi in Bali last year.
The Economic Working Group will be led by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and Chinaʼs
Ministry of Finance. The Financial Working Group will be led by the U.S. Department of the
Treasury and the Peopleʼs Bank of China. The two groups will meet at the Vice Minister level
on a regular cadence and report to Secretary Yellen and Vice Premier He.
