3 Opportunities to Strengthen Good Governance Worldwide

World Economic Forum (Oct 1, 2025) "3 Opportunities to Strengthen Good Governance Worldwide" frames a transformation from compliance-driven governance to trust-based resilience, against a backdrop of a 2025 report showing a 21% decline in confidence in business leaders since 2021. The three opportunities: reimagine governance as a business case for integrity by going beyond compliance to make transparency and anti-corruption strategic assets — especially in fast-evolving sectors like AI; adopt long-term, system-wide incentives by aligning compensation and leadership priorities with intergenerational value creation; and implement systemic regulatory coordination across the rapidly expanding national and international landscape that today produces fragmentation and overlap.
