A meeting bringing together Finance Ministers, Energy Ministers, and Central Bank Governors in an unprecedented format was held on Monday, 30 March 2026, as part of the French G7 Presidency.
The meeting made it possible to coordinate the response of major economies to the consequences of the situation in the Middle East, against a backdrop of heightened tensions in energy and financial markets.
The discussions focused primarily on developments in the Middle East and their implications for energy markets, the global economy, and financial stability.
Continuing the work undertaken by France since the beginning of the crisis, the G7 countries intend to strengthen economic resilience, ensure the security of energy supplies, and maintain close and open dialogue among partners.
Unwavering support for Ukraine in defending its territorial integrity, its right to exist, its freedom, sovereignty, and independence was also reaffirmed, as was the members’ commitment to maintain pressure on Russia with a view to achieving a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.
