The Global Growth Gap, in One Table

The IMF’s latest estimates show a 1.6-percentage-point growth gap between advanced and emerging economies in 2026.

What the table tells us

Emerging and developing economies are projected to grow faster than advanced economies in 2026. But the groups differ substantially in economic composition and individual country performance.

The 3.7% emerging-market growth projection exceeds the 2.1% advanced-economy figure by 1.6 percentage points.

That is a difference in growth rates, not a measure of relative prosperity or absolute economic output.

The broader implication is straightforward: global growth is continuing, but its momentum is far from evenly distributed.

The nine145 number: 1.6 percentage points — the projected advanced-versus-emerging growth gap in 2026.
