Size does not necessarily translate into high growth. Among the world’s 
four largest economies, China leads with projected 4.4% real growth in 
2026, while the U.S. is expected to grow a still respectable 2.3%. 
Germany and Japan, which have faced years of stagnation, are projected 
to grow by just 0.7–0.8%.

China’s outperformance continues a trend seen over the past few decades, 
although the country faces headwinds of its own, including a demographic 
slowdown and a prolonged property sector crisis.

The Shifting Balance of Power Towards Asia
Beyond China and Japan, Asia is increasingly driving global economic 
growth. Major emerging markets like India ($4.2 trillion) and Indonesia 
($1.5 trillion) are expected to reshape the global economic order in the 
decades ahead.

India, which in recent years became the world’s most populous country, 
is now the sixth-largest economy globally. Its strong 6.6% growth 
forecast for 2026 could see it surpass the United Kingdom ($4.3 
trillion) and even Japan by 2028.

Meanwhile, Indonesia’s projected 5% growth comes despite ongoing 
challenges in its manufacturing sector since the COVID-19 pandemic, as 
well as continued supply chain pressures linked to geopolitical tensions.

The Downstream Effects of Trade Tensions
Indonesia is not alone in feeling the effects of shifting global trade 
dynamics. High-tariff policies introduced by the U.S. since early 2025 
have led to downward revisions in growth forecasts across several 
economies, particularly in North America.

Canada ($2.3 trillion) and Mexico ($2.1 trillion), both highly dependent 
on U.S. trade, are especially exposed. With U.S.-Canada relations 
strained and negotiations over a trilateral trade agreement progressing 
slowly, the North American economic bloc faces increasing uncertainty.
