Ahead of today’s first advanced estimates of GDP for FY26, the latest OECD data reveals a massive divergence in G20 countries' economic performance. India dominates Q3 2025 with an 8% GDP surge, outpacing emerging peers Indonesia (5%) and China (4.8%). Meanwhile, the West stalls—the US holds 2.3% while Germany (0.3%), Italy (0.6%) and Mexico (-0.2%) barely avoid contraction. These figures show a clear divergence between high-growth Asia and a cooling G7.
