ARCountry dossier
Argentina
Americas · Asia-Pacific · Europe · Africa
Argentina moved from one of the world's richest agro-export economies to repeated cycles of industrialization, inflation, debt crisis and stabilization; in 2026 the central question is whether the latest fiscal and monetary adjustment can become an institutional regime rather than another temporary stabilization.

China
Americas · Asia-Pacific · Europe · Africa · Middle East
China's present economic power rests on a long history of state capacity, a twentieth-century revolutionary rupture and an extraordinary post-1978 industrial transformation; by 2026 the central problem has shifted from building capacity to allocating income, capital and risk across an aging, highly productive but increasingly imbalanced economy.

EGCountry dossier
Egypt
Africa · Americas · Asia-Pacific · Europe · Middle East
Egypt's economy has repeatedly been organized around the Nile, a dense population core and control of routes between the Mediterranean, Red Sea, Africa and Asia; in 2026 the central challenge is to convert strategic geography and a large domestic market into productivity while reducing inflation, debt pressure and the state's crowding-out of private capital.

ETCountry dossier
Ethiopia
Africa · Americas · Asia-Pacific · Europe · Middle East
Ethiopia combines a long history of highland state formation with one of Africa's largest populations and a recent model of state-led infrastructure and industrial investment; in 2026 rapid growth coexists with inflation, foreign-exchange reform, debt restructuring and the social consequences of recent conflict.

India
Americas · Asia-Pacific · Europe · Africa · Middle East

IDCountry dossier
Indonesia
Africa · Americas · Asia-Pacific · Europe · Middle East
Indonesia's modern economy was shaped by maritime trade, colonial extraction, post-independence state building and a post-1998 democratic decentralization; in 2026 its central challenge is to turn a vast domestic market, mineral endowments and infrastructure investment into higher productivity without recreating commodity dependence or regional fragmentation.

IRCountry dossier
Iran
Africa · Americas · Asia-Pacific · Europe · Middle East

Israel combines globally competitive technology and defence systems with unusually deep mobilisation capacity, but the post-2023 security burden, infrastructure gaps and uneven demographic participation increasingly determine whether resilience can remain fiscally and socially durable.

Lithuania
Europe
Lithuania has combined rapid EU income convergence with energy decoupling from Russia and defence spending above 5% of GDP; the structural test is whether security mobilisation, renewable investment and EU funds raise productivity fast enough to offset ageing and a shrinking labour base.

PYCountry dossier
Paraguay
Americas
Paraguay's small, landlocked economy was profoundly reshaped by nineteenth-century war, twentieth-century authoritarian rule and later integration through Itaipu, agriculture and Mercosur; in 2026 strong growth, renewable electricity and improving credit quality create an opportunity to raise productivity beyond commodities and informality.

Portugal
Europe
Portugal has cut public debt sharply, reached historically low unemployment and built a renewable-heavy electricity system, but productivity, housing and ageing will determine whether post-PRR growth produces durable convergence in living standards.

Saudi Arabia
Africa · Americas · Asia-Pacific · Europe · Middle East

SGCountry dossier
Singapore
Asia-Pacific · Middle East · Europe
Singapore converts land scarcity and external dependence into a dense system of public housing, compulsory savings, sovereign assets, ports, finance and advanced manufacturing; its next constraint is whether productivity and regional integration can offset ageing, imported energy and geopolitical fragmentation.

South Africa
Africa · Americas · Asia-Pacific · Europe · Middle East
South Africa built Africa's deepest mining-financial-industrial system through gold, diamonds and state-supported infrastructure, but apartheid locked labour and urban space into extreme inequality; three decades after democratization, weak investment, unemployment, electricity and logistics remain the central constraints on inclusive growth.

Türkiye
Europe · Middle East
Türkiye combines deep manufacturing, low sovereign debt and strategic geography with still-high inflation, external energy dependence and an unfinished shift toward higher-technology production; the central test is whether current disinflation becomes a durable institutional regime.

United Arab Emirates
Africa · Americas · Asia-Pacific · Europe · Middle East
The UAE transformed a small federation of Gulf emirates into a global hub for oil, trade, aviation, finance and migration; in 2026 its structural advantage is not simply hydrocarbon wealth but the ability to convert rents into infrastructure, institutions and international networks while managing geopolitical and demographic dependence.

Venezuela
Americas
Venezuela transformed from an agricultural exporter into one of the world's archetypal oil states, using petroleum rents to finance urbanization and social policy; the later collapse of production, institutions and money generated mass migration, and by 2026 partial market adaptation coexists with renewed extreme inflation.
