    R packages used:

    Global growth is no longer driven by advanced economies — China + India alone account for nearly half of total growth.

      What’s the benefit of having the impact on global growth PPP adjusted?

      Yea this is misleading because percentage is useless.

      Graph should be more with ‘Absolute Numbers’.

      To give an example :

      ##7% of 4.3T is still less than 2% of 30T

      I hate these kind of charts where Guyana has 25% GDP YoY growth but their economy is tiny, same is with many other smaller economies.

      Make graphs with Absolute$$ numbers and show ‘How much which country has contributed to global economy’…. Ppl need money to buy stuff not percentage.

      If you want to look into this data more, try focusing on the economic policies of China and India that might be driving this growth. They have huge populations and are putting a lot into tech and infrastructure. Also, see how these countries are handling sustainability and tech innovation, which could be important for their growth. Consider the impact on global supply chains and how other emerging markets are interacting with them. Look into how different sectors are growing in these countries to get a clearer picture of what’s contributing to their economic rise.

      When has PPP growth been driven by advanced economies. From what I have seen, PPP has always been mostly driven by middle income economies
