World Economic Forum Reports India’s Strongest Global Growth Outlook for 2026
The World Economic Forum's September 2026 Chief Economists' Outlook reports India as having the strongest growth prospects globally, with 74% of surveyed economists expecting strong or very strong growth over the next year, up from 52% in May. Overall, 98% foresee moderate or stronger growth, with the 2026-27 forecast raised to 6.7%. Resilient domestic demand supports this optimism, though high energy prices and geopolitical tensions remain risks. Other regions show mixed outlooks, with Southeast Asia positive, China more cautious, and Europe weakest. Global economic sentiment has improved, with fewer economists expecting deterioration or rising inflation.
