U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the U.S. priorities and schedule for the 2026 G20 Finance Track, including hosting a meeting of the G20 finance ministers and central bank governors in Asheville, N.C.
The G20 Finance Track 2026 meeting schedule includes meetings throughout the year in Washington, D.C., Asheville, NC, and Bangkok, Thailand. At the end of the year, Bessett said, the U.S. host year will end with a G20 Leaders’ Summit at Trump National Doral in Miami, Fla.
“Thanks to President Trump’s pro-growth economic policies, the United States’ economy is reaching historic heights, and as the G20’s Finance Track lead Treasury will leverage America’s demonstrable economic success and bring the G20 back to its core mission by undertaking a streamlined, results-oriented approach for the group,” Bessent said. “In close coordination with the State Department, we will execute on the President’s agenda for the G20 by prioritizing pro-growth economic policies through modernizing financial regulation; strengthening our understanding of excessive global imbalances; enhancing debt transparency and facilitating debt restructuring processes; endorsing a vibrant digital assets ecosystem; improving cross-border payments and addressing payments fraud and scams; and promoting financial literacy.”
The Finance Track 2026 meetings include:
- April 16 (Washington, D.C.): Finance ministers and central bank governors meeting.
- August 29-30 (Asheville, N.C.): Finance and central bank deputies meeting.
- August 31 – September 1 (Asheville, N.C.): Finance ministers and central bank governors meeting.

“I am proud to spotlight that the United States will host the G20 finance ministers and central bank governors in Asheville, North Carolina,” Bessett said. “The selection of historic Asheville reflects the Trump Administration’s commitment to the revitalization and resilience of western North Carolina, which continues to rebuild after the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene.”
