Feeling the vibes from the recent G20 in South Africa? Canadian PM Mark Carney dropped a major insight this year: with the US skipping out, "the center of gravity in the global economy is shifting." 🌍
Carney, speaking on the sidelines of the two-day summit that wrapped up on Sunday, Nov 23, pointed to strong turnouts from G20 partners across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. For many in South Asia and Southeast Asia, this isn't just talk – it's a chance to flex economic muscles, from booming digital startup scenes in Bangalore and Jakarta to sustainable energy projects in Dhaka and Ho Chi Minh City.
So what's next? While the US gears up to take the G20 baton in 2026, experts here are already plotting how to shape global trade rules, drive green tech, and boost cross-border e-commerce. Imagine faster mobile payments linking Mumbai to Manila, or eco-friendly innovations from Colombo finding a market in Cape Town.
Whether you're building the next big app in Kuala Lumpur or advocating for climate justice in Kathmandu, the message is clear: Global South voices are louder than ever. And with major economies forging new alliances, now's the time for young professionals to tune in, speak up, and plug into this shifting landscape. 🚀
