A Global Lens: How We Compare Continental Growth
We track real GDP growth, productivity per worker, capital formation, trade openness, demographic shifts, and sector composition. Together these indicators reveal not only the pace of expansion but also its quality, resilience, and inclusivity across regions.
A Global Lens: How We Compare Continental Growth
Institutional strength, educational attainment, infrastructure depth, natural resource endowments, and policy credibility push growth onto different paths. Add technology adoption and global value chain access, and you get distinctive continental trajectories worth comparing over time.
Asia’s Engines: Manufacturing, Technology, and Urbanization
Factory density, supplier ecosystems, and logistics efficiency create compounding advantages. When component makers, designers, and assemblers co-locate, costs fall and learning accelerates, sustaining growth even as wages rise and firms climb the value ladder.
Europe’s Transition: Productivity, Aging, and the Green Push
University-industry networks, patent intensity, and specialized suppliers anchor productivity in tight regional clusters. When small and mid-sized firms adopt digital tools and export, the cumulative effect shows up in wages, exports, and resilient growth.
The Americas: Divergence, Reshoring, and Commodity Cycles
01
Innovation and Resilience in the North
Scale in venture capital, deep research universities, and large consumer markets support continuous reinvention. Reshoring plus advanced manufacturing raises capex, and when paired with workforce development, can reinforce productivity and inclusive wage growth.
02
Latin America’s Reform Windows
Fiscal credibility, rule of law, and logistics determine whether commodity booms translate into broad-based gains. When reforms stick, services exports and manufacturing expand beyond cycles, offering steadier growth than raw-material windfalls alone can deliver.
03
Nearshoring and Border Economies
Supply-chain diversification is boosting investment in Mexico and parts of Central America. Industrial parks, customs modernization, and talent pipelines matter. Tell us which sectors—auto parts, electronics, furniture—are seeing the fastest orders in your area.
Middle East and Oceania: Diversification and Resilience
Diversification strategies invest in tourism, logistics, advanced services, and clean energy. When regulatory clarity and talent attraction align, new ecosystems emerge, reducing volatility and anchoring longer, more predictable growth cycles beyond commodity prices.
