June 2026 Quarterly Bulletin
01 July 2026 | Media Release
 

Global real GDP displayed steady but moderate growth in the first quarter of 2026, with Emerging Market and Developing Economies (EMDEs), particularly India and China, continuing to outperform the Advanced Economies (AEs). Economic activity in some of the AEs rose, led by the US, on the back of private investment, consumption and government expenditure. In India, economic growth remained robust, driven by the manufacturing and services sectors as well as government spending. Likewise, economic activity in China was strong on the back of a surge in exports, sturdy high-tech manufacturing, and state-led infrastructure investment, which offset persistent weaknesses in domestic consumer demand and the property sector.
