Foreign Media: According to the International Monetary Fund's "World Economic Outlook" forecast, global economic growth is expected to show significant divergence between 2025 and 2026: India will lead all major economies with growth rates of 6.6% (2025) and 6.2% (2026), more than three times the pace of most developed countries; Southeast Asia remains robust, with Indonesia maintaining a steady 4.9% growth for two consecutive years; China's growth is projected to modestly slow from 4.8% to 4.2%.
In contrast, developed economies are showing weak growth: the United States around 2%, the United Kingdom at 1.3%, Japan declining from 1.1% to 0.6%, and both France and Germany expected to fall below 1% in 2026. This gap reflects the advantages emerging markets have in demographic structure, productivity, and investment cycles, also signaling a trend toward the eastward shift of global economic power.
