A CEO’s Wish List for the G20: What Oliver Wyman’s CEO Agenda 2025 Reveals About Global Business Priorities

As the world turns its attention to the G20 meetings next week, discussions will inevitably centre on geopolitics, global tensions, and macro-level policy coordination. But beneath the formal declarations and diplomatic choreography lies another engine of global economic momentum the B20, where the world’s business leaders translate global political themes into practical, actionable priorities.

This year, the release of Oliver Wyman’s CEO Agenda 2025 could not be more timely. The report, based on insights from 165 CEOs across major markets, echoes with striking clarity the same concerns and opportunities shaping the B20’s “What CEOs Want” agenda. It provides a grounded, data-backed lens into what the private sector needs from global and national policymakers to unlock investment, generate jobs, and drive growth particularly for economies such as South Africa.
