A joint communique based on the results of the meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors in Asheville, North Carolina, was not agreed upon, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has stated.

"I'd hope to be able to announce a unanimous joint communique today to reflect the outcome from all the great work we've done together in the past few days and over the year," he said, noting that they "were not able to achieve a complete consensus" due to China's position.
