Business Priorities for Recommendations of Turkey’s G20 Presidential Term in 2015

TÜSİAD has initiated a B20 project entitled “Business Priorities for Recommendations of Turkey’s G20 Presidential Term in 2015”. The project is funded by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office – Prosperity Fund and implemented by EY Turkey. The launch of the project was held on Tuesday, 25th of November at the British Consulate-General in Istanbul. EY Turkey made a presentation of the project followed by a panel discussion on “Key Agenda Items for Business, From Australia to Turkey”.

Turkey will take over G20 Presidency in 2015 and will also chair and host the B20. In that context, TUSIAD initiated this global study to define private sector’s priorities at national and global levels for the recommendations that will be produced during Turkey’s Presidency with special focus on the increasing role of emerging markets and G20 in the world economy. The method of identifying the priorities is to conduct surveys with business leaders of six G20 countries: Brazil, France, India, United Kingdom, United States and Turkey. The results of the survey are analyzed in light of former G20-B20 outputs, as well as Turkish government’s priorities for 2015, to ensure alignment of the output with G20-B20’s main concerns.
