The Bank of Namibia has published its June 2026 Quarterly Bulletin, which reports that global real GDP grew at a steady but moderate pace in the first quarter of 2026. Emerging Market and Developing Economies, particularly India and China, continued to outperform Advanced Economies. Among Advanced Economies, growth strengthened in some markets, led by the United States through private investment, consumption and government expenditure. India’s growth remained robust, supported by manufacturing, services and government spending. China’s economy was bolstered by stronger exports, high-tech manufacturing and state-led infrastructure investment, which offset continued weakness in domestic consumer demand and the property sector.
