Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) will host the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting on 8-9 July 2027.

The meeting will bring finance ministers and central bank governors from G20 economies to the city, along with senior officials and the heads of major international financial institutions.

It forms part of the UK’s G20 presidency, which the UK takes over from the US in December. The main G20 Leaders’ Summit will take place at Manchester Central on 27-28 November 2027.

Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander said: “Bringing the world’s finance ministers to Edinburgh recognises our capital’s reputation as a global financial centre.”

EICC has hosted government and diplomatic meetings before, including the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting and the NATO Parliamentary Assembly’s 55th annual session. The venue says it’s already working with international, national and local partners on the technology, delegate services and security the meeting will need.

Lezley Marion Cameron, chair of the EICC board, said hosting the meeting was “a privilege and a responsibility”, and that the EICC team, led by chief executive Amanda Wrathall, would work closely with partners on every part of the event.
