 Finance ministers from the G7 group of rich nations are meeting in London for two days of talks aimed at moving closer to a global deal to raise more tax from the likes of Google, Facebook and Amazon. The gathering, chaired by British Finance Minister Rishi Sunak, is the first time the ministers have met face to face since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Rich nations have struggled for years to agree a way to raise more tax from large multinational companies, which often book profits in jurisdictions where they pay little or no tax. Morning. Delighted to welcome today G7 Finance ministers to the UK. It's the first time we've met in person in two years and I believe we can make significant progress in tackling some of the world's most pressing economic challenges. Firstly, providing support to vulnerable countries through coronavirus. Secondly, making sure that we meet our ambitions on net zero and tackling climate change. And thirdly, ensuring that the way we tax large, global, especially digital companies is fair and fit for the modern age. I'm confident we can make progress on all these fronts.
