South Africa will participate along with other major developed and developing economies on plenary sessions which will discuss development and climate change; the global economy; growth strategies, employment; investment strategies (inclusive growth); financial regulation, international tax, anti-corruption and IMF reform (enhancing resilience), trade and energy. Moreover, the Summit will also seek to address current global challenges such as terrorism and the refugee crisis. For South Africa, the G20 presents meaningful opportunities for advancing much-needed global governance reforms for promoting Africa's sustainable development agenda. South Africa's priorities in the G20 for 2016 include strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth, decent employment, efficient and responsive economic infrastructure, increased investment in infrastructure, reducing illicit financial flows through coordination in the international tax regime, coordination of international financial regulatory developments and international coordination on development (including in the context of domestic resource mobilization (DRM) and ensuring synergy with the UN processes on the post-2015 development agenda and financing for development). President Zuma will also meet with leaders of the BRICS nations, which annually meets at the margins of the G20 summit, where they will take forward the programme agreed to at the last BRICS summit in Ufa, Russia. President Jacob Zuma is accompanied by the Minister of Finance, Mr Nhlanhla Nene.
