Britain's Treasury chief says he's optimistic finance ministers from the world's richest countries will agree on plans to help low-income countries combat COVID-19, slow global warming and confront tax avoidance during two days of meetings in London.

Finance ministers from the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations are meeting ahead of the annual summit of G7 leaders scheduled for June 11-13 in Carbis Bay, Cornwall. The U.K. is hosting both sets of meetings because it hold's the group's rotating presidency.

IMF economists recently estimated it would cost $50 billion to vaccinate 60% of the world's population by the middle of next year, and that achieving that goal would generate $9 trillion in additional economic output by 2025. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who is attending the London meetings, has said a minimum tax rate is needed to end a "30-year race to the bottom" that has seen countries around the world cut corporate taxes to attract investment.
