Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and his American counterpart Jacob lew will next week co-chair the annual India-US Economic and Financial Partnership (EFP) Dialogue here which over the years has helped manage a robust and manufacturing relationship between the two countries.

“What the EFP does is help manage a robust and maturing relationship. It brings together policymakers from our two countries to discuss macroeconomic, financial, and related structural policies in a way that enables us to clarify where we agree, where we may disagree, and how we can work together to resolve our differences. This is a win-win partnership,” said Nathan Sheets, Undersecretary of Treasury.

The EFP has served as a framework for collaboration for two Treasury Secretaries with three Indian finance ministers in two different Governments.
