The Finance Minister's excited ahead of her trip to Washington DC.

Nicola Willis departs tomorrow for a meeting with her counterparts from Australia, the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.

She says she's looking forward to being in the same room as Janet Yellen, who she describes as a 'Queen' of international economics and finance.

"She is an incredible person who has advised successive American presidents and been on the Federal Reserve - and having a moment to pick her brain will be a very special moment indeed."
