India Tops the Growth Chart
India is projected to be the fastest-growing G20 economy in both 2025 and 2026, with forecasted GDP growth of 6.3% and 6.4%, respectively.
This strong outlook is driven by resilient domestic demand, a booming services sector, and high levels of public infrastructure investment. The country’s stock market also broke the $4 trillion milestone in 2024, making it one of the largest in the world.
Indonesia (4.7% in 2025, 4.8% in 2026) and China (4.7% and 4.3%) are also expected to post solid growth, though China’s pace is slowing due to demographic challenges and structural economic adjustments.
Stagnation in Advanced Economies
The slowest growing G20 economies in 2025 will be Germany (0.4%), Italy (0.6%), France (0.6%), and Japan (0.7%). This is primarily due to escalating trade tensions and heightened policy uncertainty, though other factors like aging populations also play a role.
Germany appears to be on the rebound, with GDP growth projected to reach 1.2% in 2026.
