South Africa leads as 17 African companies make Forbes list of world's largest firms
For the 23rd consecutive year, Forbes has released its Global 2000 ranking, highlighting the world's largest and most influential publicly traded companies, with South Africa accounting for the majority of Africa's entries. Forbes released its 23rd Global 2000 ranking of the world's largest publicly traded companies in 2025. A total of 17 African companies are on the list, with South Africa leading the entries. South Africa dominated the African representation with firms across finance, tech, mining, chemicals, and more. In 2025, a total of 17 African companies made the Forbes Global 2000 ranking, dominated by South Africa with 14 entries, followed by Morocco with 2 and Egypt with 1. Per Forbes, the 2025 Global 2000 companies collectively account for $52.9 trillion in revenue, $4.9 trillion in profits, $242.2 trillion in assets, and a $91.3 trillion market capitalization. Notably, despite global economic challenges such as renewed U.S. trade tensions, these companies achieved record-breaking figures across all four key metrics: revenue, profit, assets, and market value; showcasing remarkable resilience. 17 African countries ranked within the global top 2,000: RANK Company Country Sector New Gains 1 FirstRand South Africa Banking $2.26 B 2 Standard Bank Group South Africa Banking $2.39 B 3 Naspers South Africa IT software & Services $3.31 B 4 Sanlam South Africa Insurance $1.21 B 5 Absa Group South Africa Banking $1.17 B 6 Attijariwafa Bank Morocco Banking $956 M 7 Nedbank South Africa Banking $926.6 M 8 Old Mutual South Africa Insurance $418.2 M 9 Gold Fields South Africa Materials $ 1.24 B 10 AngloGold Ashanti South Africa Materials $1 B 11 MTN group South Africa Telecom Services $-523.2 M 12 CAPITEC South Africa Insurance $659.1 M 13 International Commercial Bank Egypt Banking $1.1 B 14 Momentum Metropolitan Holdings South Africa Insurance $271.4 M 15 Sasol South Africa Chemicals $ -2.69 B 16 Banque Centrale Populaire Morocco Banking $416.9 M 17 Bid South Africa Hotels, Restaurants & Leisures $433.3 M Africa's representation on the Forbes Global 2000 list may be modest, but there's no doubting its economic influence is steadily growing within and beyond the continent. This is evident in the diverse range of companies featured, from established multinationals to emerging tech and financial powerhouses. South Africa has once again cemented its dominance in Africa's corporate landscape, with the majority of the continent's representatives in the 2025 Forbes Global 2000 list. Out of the 17 African firms that made the cut, 14 are based in South Africa, spanning sectors such as banking, insurance, telecommunications, mining, and chemicals. Leading South Africa's presence are FirstRand, Standard Bank, and Naspers, reflecting the country's strength in finance and tech. Morocco follows distantly with two companies, Attijariwafa Bank and Banque Centrale Populaire, while Egypt's Commercial International Bank (CIB) is the only North African entrant outside Morocco. The exclusion of Nigerian companies from the ranking is concerning. Despite hosting major oil and industrial giants, Nigeria's low number of publicly listed large-cap firms and weak presence in global financial benchmarks limit its corporate visibility, even as Africa's most populous nation.

Two Moroccan Banks Make 2025 Forbes Global 2000 List
Doha – Two Moroccan banking giants, Attijariwafa Bank and Banque Centrale Populaire (BCP), have secured positions in the prestigious Forbes Global 2000 ranking of the world's largest publicly traded companies for 2025. Attijariwafa Bank, led by CEO Mohamed El Kettani, ranks 979th globally with impressive financial metrics. The bank reported $4.84 billion in revenue, $956 million in profits, $71.7 billion in assets, and a market capitalization of $14.44 billion. Founded in 1911 and headquartered in Casablanca, Attijariwafa Bank employs over 20,583 people. The bank provides international commercial banking services through various business areas, including domestic banking, Europe and offshore; specialized financial subsidiaries; international retail banking; and insurance and property. BCP, under the leadership of Naziha Belkeziz, placed 1,812th in the global ranking. The bank posted revenues of $3.3 billion, profits of $416 million, assets valued at $53.5 billion, and a market capitalization of $5.97 billion. Established in 1926 with headquarters also in Casablanca, BCP operates as a commercial bank focusing on banking intermediation and management services. The institution employs 2,717 people and was formally incorporated on February 2, 1961. The Forbes Global 2000 list, now in its 23rd edition, evaluates companies based on four equally weighted criteria: revenue, profits, assets, and market value. Africa's representation in the ranking remains limited, with only 17 companies making the cut. South Africa dominates the continental presence with 14 companies, followed by Morocco with two and Egypt with one. Attijariwafa Bank and BCP rank 6th and 16th, respectively, among African entries. The global ranking continues to be topped by American companies, with JPMorgan Chase maintaining its top position for the third consecutive year. The US has 612 companies on the list, while China follows with 317. The top 10 global companies include JPMorgan (USA), Berkshire Hathaway (USA), ICBC (China), Saudi Aramco (Saudi Arabia), Amazon (USA), Bank of America (USA), China Construction Bank (China), Agricultural Bank of China (China), Alphabet (USA), and Microsoft (USA). Collectively, the 2,000 companies in this year's ranking represent $52.9 trillion in annual revenue, $4.9 trillion in profits, $242.2 trillion in assets, and a combined market capitalization of $91.3 trillion. Banking remains the most represented industry in the ranking with 328 institutions. The sector's strong presence is partly attributed to banks' naturally high asset values, with 88 of the top 100 companies by assets being financial institutions.
