Pakistan sets G-24 agenda around global financial reforms

Pakistan’s Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has set priorities for the country’s leadership of the G-24, which began on November 1, 2026. In a virtual briefing with G-24 Secretariat Director Dr. Iyabo Masha, he said the chairmanship would seek closer coordination among members and a stronger role for developing economies in global financial discussions.

The agenda includes changes to the international monetary and financial system, more affordable development funding and steps to strengthen economic resilience. Pakistan is due to host a G-24 Technical Group Meeting in February 2027, with further ministerial discussions planned alongside the IMF-World Bank Spring and Annual Meetings. Aurangzeb also called for sustained consultation to shape shared priorities into policy proposals.
