The President of the RSPP stressed the importance of cooperation between international business and the Group of Twenty (G20) for the development of effective solutions to the key challenges of the modern world.
The President of the RSPP noted the difficult situation in the world economy, including the growth of inequality between individual countries and regions, the erosion of the trading system and other factors, the world economy is facing serious challenges. According to Alexander Shokhin, forecasts of global economic growth up to 2030 cause serious concerns, and the decade up to 2030 may be "lost". However, he noted that the forecast for Russia has significantly improved due to effective strategic and operational decisions of the government and the contribution of Russian business. Russia forecasts a 0.2% decline in GDP in 2023, which is 16 times better than the organization's January forecast. "Nevertheless, we must give adequate answers to all challenges and risks. It is important to coordinate the interests of different groups of countries," Alexander Shokhin said.
The President of the RSPP noted the need to maximize the advantages and opportunities of regional integration processes, as well as overcoming structural constraints, such as demographic problems, labor markets, productivity, technology, trade and investment. And in this, the national agenda resonates with the agenda of the Indian presidency of the G20.

In particular, for these purposes, within the framework of the Indian presidency, an Executive Council for Africa was established, which included business representatives from many African States. The Indian Presidency of the G20 also noted the importance of the Global South issues and held many events in various regions of the country.
