The US talks Jefferson but acts Hamilton: claiming free markets whilst the state has always driven innovation—from DARPA funding the internet to NIH investing $40bn annually in health research that created entire industries. 1/3

Building capacity starts with reframing what the state is for – not just a fixing markets but actively shaping the economy towards clear outcomes.

‘Solidarity, equality, sustainability’: three themes at the centre of South Africa's G20 Presidency.

This morning I spoke at #FTAfrica Summit on the need to ensure this G20 summit is not wasted by placing these three themes at the centre of the global financial system and green industrial strategy.
October 21, 2025 at 1:00 PM
For the first time, the G20 is meeting on African soil. Tomorrow, I'll join #FTAfrica to discuss how we move beyond fragmented approaches of economic governance toward a framework that aligns finance & industrial policy for inclusive & sustainable growth.

Honoured to address the PES Congress #ProgressiveMobilisation in Amsterdam at 10:15 CET on outcomes-oriented industrial strategy for a just green transition. The question today is not whether industrial policy is back, but what kind of industrial policy, how it is designed & for whom.

The debt crisis is a development & investment crisis. In the Global South, debt repayments crowd out investment in education, healthcare & climate resilience. We call on the World Bank & IMF to acknowledge the impacts of the global debt crisis & take action to drive inclusive & sustainable growth.
