According to the data, India leads in economic growth rates, despite a slowdown in its economic development from 8.8% to 6.7%. Second place is shared by China and Indonesia, with their GDP growing by 5% in 2024. Russia, which has been increasing its economic success for two consecutive years at a rate of 4.1%, ranks third in this list.

Brazil is fourth in terms of economic growth within the G20, with its GDP growth rising from 3.2% to 3.4%. Turkey ranks fifth, currently experiencing a significant slowdown in growth rates – from 5.1% to 3.2%.
