Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves will join a meeting of Eurozone finance ministers next month, as part of the new Labour government’s continued effort to deepen cooperation with the European Union.
Reeves will become the first chancellor to join the Eurogroup meeting on Dec. 9 since Britain’s exit from the EU in 2020. Though the UK wasn’t previously a member of the group because it never adopted the euro, chancellors did used to attend wider EU meetings of economic and finance ministers when it was part of the bloc.
