Dear B20 South Africa friends and stakeholders, As we move forward in our B20 South Africa journey, I am pleased to share key updates on our collective efforts to shape actionable, inclusive and sustainable policy recommendations for the G20. All eight B20 Task Forces have now commenced their intensive collaboration, bringing together global expertise to develop concrete policy proposals ahead of our November summit. Their work is critical to ensuring that business voices translate into meaningful, measurable outcomes, ones that balance economic growth with societal development and environmental resilience. We are delighted to confirm that the B20 South Africa Summit will take place from 18-20 November 2025 in Johannesburg. This will be a pivotal moment to convene our global community, share insights, and drive forward recommendations that reflect both African priorities and global imperatives. I am pleased to welcome the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), MTN and Kwikot as new partners in our work to host Africa's first B20. Their commitment reinforces the collaborative spirit of all our sponsors needed to address the complex challenges ahead. As I have emphasised before, sustainable business is not just what we do, it is how we do it. Our values matter. The policy recommendations must be rooted in inclusion, resilience and long-term thinking. This means creating pathways for all regions, particularly those facing structural constraints, to fully participate in and benefit from global growth. Africa's role in this future is vital. A truly sustainable future must be shaped by the collective and grounded in shared prosperity. • G20 Sherpa Meeting – June 2025 • Virtual Press Roundtables with Task Forces – June 2025 • Fourth Financing for Development Conference (FfD4) – June 2025 Africa's potential is undeniable, but potential alone is not enough. Our goal is to shift the narrative from aspiration to measurable progress, progress that benefits people, economies and the planet. The world does not just need Africa's potential, it needs Africa's leadership. All of us in the B20 South African community look forward to your continued partnership as we build toward November. Together, we can forge policies and ways of doing business that drive inclusive growth and prove that sustainability and shared prosperity go hand in hand, in a cooperating world.
