đ 2026 REAL GDP GROWTH FORECAST â THE EAST LEADS, WEST MODERATES
The IMFâs 2026 growth projections reveal a clear geographic divergence: Asia and emerging markets are set to outpace developed Western economies by a wide margin.
Top growth leaders:
đŽđł India â 6.3%
đŽđŠ Indonesia â 5.1%
đ¨đł China â 4.5%
đ¸đŚ Saudi Arabia â 4.5%
đłđŹ Nigeria â 4.4%
Developed economy slowdown:
đşđ¸ United States â 2.4%
đŠđŞ Germany â 1.1%
đŤđˇ France â 1.0%
đŻđľ Japan â 0.7%
đŽđš Italy â 0.7%
What this means for markets:
Capital rotation toward higherâgrowth regions
Currency impacts â stronger EM currencies vs. stagnant G10
Sector preferences â infrastructure, consumer, tech in highâgrowth economies
Commodity demand â energy, metals, and agriculture supported by EM expansion
Crypto angle:
Adoption tailwinds in highâgrowth, digitallyâyoung populations
Stablecoin utility for crossâborder trade and remittances
DeFi and Web3 development may accelerate where traditional finance is less entrenched
Growth isnât evenly distributedâand neither will be returns.
