South Africa's G20 Presidency: An Opportunity to Shine

February 7, 2023

"It was an honor to facilitate discussions at the Absa G20 Workshop as we prepare to host the G20 Summit this year. The event explored business involvement, providing valuable insights into the government's approach and key working groups, including the B20 SA (Business Working Group), Infrastructure, and Sustainable Finance Working Group.

The G20 SA Presidency has gotten off to a remarkable start, navigating the complexities of multilateral diplomacy and the T20 Troika (Brazil, the previous host; SA, the current host; and the USA, which will take over in December 2025).
Early engagement is crucial for businesses to develop a clear strategy for contributing to decision-making and harnessing opportunities linked to the G20. While the task may seem daunting, I believe South Africa has the potential to shine when it matters most. Let's roll up our sleeves and showcase the best of South African leadership and spirit.
