As South Africa heads up the G20 Presidency this year, the Presidential Economic Advisory Council of South Africa’s seventh administration is looking at the country’s role in advancing the global economic policy agenda and proposes advancing the priorities already set out by President Cyril Ramaphosa. South Africa assumed the G20 Presidency on December 1, 2024 and will hold it until November 30, 2025, in which time it will focus on Ramaphosa’s priorities of mobilising finance to support a just energy transition, addressing the unsustainable debt burden on developing countries, strengthening disaster resilience and response, and harnessing critical minerals for inclusive growth and sustainable development.
