These teams are at the heart of Treasury's work to promote and protect the UK's international economic interests.

We support the Chancellor and senior officials in building relationships with a wider range of external and international partners and represent the UK in a range of international organisations, such as the G7, G20, IMF and Multilateral Development Banks, as well as designing and influencing UK trade policy to deliver the Chancellor's fiscal and economic objectives.
