While in Brussels, Minister Champagne will address the Eurogroup at a session on navigating global imbalances in the context of geo-economic risks. This marks a milestone as it is the first time a Canadian Finance Minister has been invited to participate in a meeting of the Eurogroup. The Eurogroup is an informal body that ensures close coordination of economic policies among the euro area member states and promotes conditions for stronger economic growth. It provides a key platform for Canada to align on growth strategies with its closest allies.
