BANGKOK: British finance minister John Healey will stress the importance of budget discipline and improving resilience to geopolitical shocks when he meets his foreign counterparts on his first trip to the International Monetary Fund's annual meetings this week.
"I will work with our international partners to keep trade moving, support families and businesses, and make Britain's economy stronger and more resilient," Healey said in a statement released by his office.
Healey will argue that major economies need credible plans to get borrowing under control, the finance ministry said, following similar calls last week from IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva and Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey.
