10 Fastest Growing Economies of 2025

As global economic growth remains modest in 2025, a handful of nations stand out for their exceptional momentum. Driven by post-conflict rebuilding, resource booms, tourism rebounds, and infrastructure investments, emerging economies are outpacing expectations. 

This article highlights the 10 fastest-growing economies in 2025, comparing them with their previous-year performance and spotlighting the sectors propelling growth , from oil and gas to tourism, construction, tech, and manufacturing.

1. South Sudan

From a 26.4% contraction in 2024 to a projected 27.2% GDP rebound in 2025, South Sudan is recovering rapidly. Growth hinges on peace-fueled reconstruction, renewed international aid, and oil production coming back online after conflict disruptions.

2. Guyana

Guyana’s economy remains a global outlier. While growth slows from 33% in 2024 to about 19% in 2025, the country continues to ride a massive offshore oil boom. Its energy exports remain the engine of its meteoric economic rise.

3. Libya

Libya is expected to grow by 13.7% in 2025, reversing years of economic stagnation due to internal conflict. With oil exports stabilizing, renewed international contracts and infrastructure restoration are pushing the country forward.

4. Senegal

Senegal’s GDP is projected to grow by 9.3% in 2025, thanks to the ramping up of oil and gas production. Major offshore discoveries are now being commercialized, transforming this West African economy into a regional energy hub.

5. Palau

This Pacific island nation is witnessing a rebound in tourism and construction, pushing GDP growth to 8.5% in 2025. After pandemic-era contractions, tourist arrivals from the U.S. and Japan have surged, reviving the service sector.

India’s economic growth continues to outperform major economies, rising to 6.5% in 2025, up from 6.3% in 2024. Domestic consumption, infrastructure investment, services, and a flourishing startup ecosystem are keeping momentum strong.

7. Uzbekistan

Uzbekistan is forecast to grow 6.7% in 2025, up from 5.6% in 2024. The economy is buoyed by reforms, growing industrial output, construction, and exports of textiles, machinery, and gold.

8. Kyrgyzstan

With a GDP growth near 9%, Kyrgyzstan remains one of Central Asia’s fastest growers. Mining, hydropower, textile manufacturing, and remittances from abroad continue to fuel the expansion.

9. Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan’s GDP growth is projected at 5.6% in 2025, accelerating from 3.1% the year before. Oil, metals, chemicals, and IT are key sectors, with increasing foreign investment and connectivity driving the rebound.

10. Armenia

Armenia’s economy will expand by approximately 4.5% in 2025, slightly down from 5.9% in 2024. Growth is supported by technology services, mining, manufacturing, and increased trade ties with regional partners.
