Emerging markets – and notably Asian economies – are still expected to grow much faster than developed economies over the next few years, even factoring in the impact of tariffs.

India is the prime example. Its GDP is expected to increase by 6.2% in 2025 and by 6.3% in 2026, according to the IMF, compared to just 1.4% and 1.5% for advanced economies. China is forecast to grow at 4% for the next two years.
