New Delhi: Issues related to international financial architecture, sustainable finance and infrastructure were under focus during the first session of the two-day G20 finance ministers and central bank governors (FMCBG) meeting, which began on Friday in Bengaluru.
The inaugural session was jointly steered by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and RBI governor Shaktikanta Das, the Finance Ministry said in a series of tweets.
