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.

If any new global order is to be a success, long-term structural transformation is required. Pre-distributive innovation systems, where knowledge is created and shared, are crucial. Inspiring discussions yesterday with New America and Project Starling about new kinds of multilateralism.
