Treasurer to travel to India for G20 finance meeting

Treasurer Jim Chalmers will travel to India on Sunday for the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Banks Governors meeting while accompanied by outgoing Reserve Bank Governor Philip Lowe. Dr Chalmers insists the trip won’t be awkward after announcing Dr Lowe would be replaced by Michele Bullock as RBA governor in September. The Treasurer is expected to discuss an ambitious rewrite of global tax rules with his counterparts during three days of meetings next week.
