Global economic growth resilience is stronger than expected, but the recovery pace is uneven.

The latest global economic outlook report reveals an interesting phenomenon: about a quarter of developing countries still have per capita GDP below pre-pandemic 2019 levels. What does this indicate? Although the overall economy is rebounding, not all regions are recovering at the same speed.

Some countries have already turned the page and returned to growth; others are still climbing uphill. This divergence offers many insights into capital flows and asset allocation strategies. The policy directions of developed economies and the degree of differentiation in emerging markets are worth close attention from investors.

A quarter hasn't even returned to pre-pandemic levels? That's hilarious. Some countries are indeed quite miserable, while developed countries have already made a fortune.

This recovery is uneven; some haven't bounced back yet. --- A quarter of the countries haven't returned to 2019 levels. What does that mean? Making money is all about who can run faster. --- Emerging markets are so divided; we need to be selective and avoid blind investments. --- Economic rebound is real, but the wealth gap is widening. Who will take responsibility for this? --- Some countries have recovered early, while others are still climbing. That's the reality. --- Where is the capital flowing? That's the real issue—developed countries are eating the meat, emerging markets are drinking the broth. --- Unbalanced recovery is the most dangerous; bubbles can burst at any time. --- What looks strong is actually fragile; it's just surface-level talk. --- So, we still need to keep an eye on the countries that are pulling ahead; opportunities lie in the differentiation.

A typical "false recovery," with a quarter of the countries still not back to health, yet they are touting growth resilience. Everyone is equal when it comes to harvesting profits, but the rebound leaves chaos in its wake. Capital only flows to where profits are quick; what do the countries still climbing the slope have to compete with? That's why we must closely watch every move of the Federal Reserve. When they cut interest rates, emerging markets become restless, and it's hard to hold back.

This is just saying that some countries haven't recovered yet. The newbies need to wake up.

A quarter of developing countries haven't recovered to pre-pandemic levels yet? How big is that gap? With such severe economic polarization, choosing the right track has become even more challenging. Some places are still stuck in the same place, no wonder capital is flowing to developed countries. This time, asset allocation really needs to be precise; otherwise, the risk of hitting a mine is too high. Uneven recovery, with a winner-takes-all rhythm?

This divergence really is an opportunity. Countries that are still climbing might actually be the next hot spot?
