India – the new superlative

According to the statistics authority in New Delhi, India's gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 7.8 percent in the last quarter compared to the previous year. This shows the country's impressive economic growth, which has overtaken China in the last two years. German foreign trade statistics also show increasing imports from India, while imports from China have declined.

Vietnam – more than little China

Vietnam has experienced breathtaking economic development in recent years and has overtaken the neighboring Philippines in terms of annual economic output per capita. Although Vietnam's stock market performed poorly last year, the recovery indicates a positive turnaround. The Vietnamese government is also planning to further open the market to foreign investors, which could provide an additional boost for the stock market.

Africa – the eternal promise

Africa is home to a multitude of nations that are currently growing rapidly. Five African countries can be found among the top ten nations with the highest GDP growth in the last quarter. The spirit of optimism is particularly noticeable in the tech sector, and experts are hoping for similar leaps to those in the financial sector.
