Emerging Markets Chart Pack (February 2026)

Our Emerging Markets Chart Pack has been updated with the latest data and our analysis of recent developments.

EM GDP growth will slow to ~3.5% in 2026-27, the weakest rate in the past three decades outside times of crisis. But there are wide divergences at a country level. Much of the weakness in EM growth stems from a few large economies – China, Brazil and Russia. Many other EMs are likely to see rapid or accelerating growth, notably India but also parts of South East Asia, Central Europe and North Africa.
