The prospects for global growth have been steadily improving this year, with the IMF projecting 3.2% growth in 2024 and 41% of chief economists having upgraded their forecasts in recent months. However, the pace of expansion expected this decade is tepid by historical standards and geo-economic fragmentation is creating divergences between regions.

What and where will the main drivers of growth derive from in the coming years?

China's growth engines seem to be slowing due to a range of factors, including an ageing population, a slowdown in productivity, and major challenges facing the private sector.

Rather than seeking a quick boost, how can a focus on high-quality development strengthen its economic fundamentals, recharge growth and enable it to avoid the middle-income trap in the long term?

How can manufacturers leverage new innovations and technologies to successfully negotiate the green transition while maintaining growth?
