Any reason it’s not there? It’s also pretty impressive since it’s the only developed economy even in the ballpark of those percentage points.
And also, great job to the other high ones. 😉
Why is India slowing down already? Isn’t it a bit soon
What’s up with Italy? I heard about Japanese economic woes, but seems like Italians are doing just as terribly.
I bet it will. Their attention to detail in manufacturing is second to none….

I think the result of Spain is really interesting,
Lots of left leaning economic policy but a huge GDP growth.
Meanwhile the right wing country in Europe stagnate.
I am German and quite pessimistic on the outlook of the German economy, but the pure economy growth numbers will be inflated by big government spending over the coming years. Our defence spending alone is tripling.
So, how come this chart misses countries like Philippines 5.6%, Egypt 4.7%, Malaysia 4.3%, Türkiye 4.2%, Argentina 4.0%, Poland 3.5%, Thailand 1.6%?
