Global growth is no longer driven by advanced economies — China + India alone account for nearly half of total growth.

What’s the benefit of having the impact on global growth PPP adjusted?
Yea this is misleading because percentage is useless.
Graph should be more with ‘Absolute Numbers’.
To give an example :
##7% of 4.3T is still less than 2% of 30T
I hate these kind of charts where Guyana has 25% GDP YoY growth but their economy is tiny, same is with many other smaller economies.
Make graphs with Absolute$$ numbers and show ‘How much which country has contributed to global economy’…. Ppl need money to buy stuff not percentage.
