Regional growth divergence is shaping 2026 expectations: the Middle East & Central Asia heading for 3.9% expansion, while sub-Saharan Africa leads at 4.6%, though Latin America & the Caribbean facing a more modest 2.2% pace. What's notable? Trade policy shifts are cooling across most regions—a crucial backdrop for understanding how geopolitical currents might influence capital flows and asset allocation strategies. These slower-burn adjustments suggest economies are digesting recent policy changes, creating both headwinds and openings for market participants watching macro trends.

The 4.6% growth rate in Africa is indeed attractive, but the cooling of trade policies is a bit uncertain... It seems like we'll have to see who can bottom out by 2026.

The 4.6% growth rate in Africa is indeed resilient, but Latin America at 2.2% is a bit disappointing... As this wave of trade policy cools down, it seems mainly to be digesting the previous fluctuations. The real opportunities will only become clear in the second half of the year.
