Key factors contributing to India's growth include strong domestic consumption, a rapidly expanding services sector, and robust government reforms aimed at fostering investment and infrastructure development.China and Indonesia took the second spot, both seeing a 5% growth. While China's growth slowed slightly by 0.2 percentage points, Indonesia maintained its momentum without any change.Brazil followed in fourth place, with GDP growth accelerating to 3.4% from 3.2% the previous year. Turkey, the only non-BRICS nation in the top five, came in fifth, but its economy faced a sharp slowdown, growing by only 3.2% compared to 5.1% in the previous year.The major economies experiencing contraction last year were Argentina and Germany.
