How this score is built
Projection · IMF World Economic Outlook · average 2026–2031. The mean of the IMF's real-GDP-growth forecast path for 2026–2031 (indicator NGDP_RPCH, via the IMF DataMapper API).
We use the multi-year average, not a single next-year figure: a one-year forecast is largely cyclical noise, whereas the average path is closer to "future growth". This is evaluative (faster sustained growth is generally better) but Tier B — it is a *forecast*, revised and uncertain, so read it as a projection, not a fact.
