G7 finance ministers, central bankers to meet early next week, says France's Lescure

PARIS, March 4 (Reuters) - France's Finance Minister Roland Lescure said on Wednesday that a meeting of G7 finance ministers and central bank governors will be held "early next week" to assess the situation in the wake of U.S. and Israel's conflict with Iran.

"I spoke with my counterparts, notably with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. We agreed to set up a meeting that will likely be early next week because... We can let a week pass, see how the conflict evolves, even see how the markets evolve," Lescure told radio station France Info.
