Global growth: Nations that lead the race
 |
China and India are still at the top among the fastest growing economies in the world. But growth for both is slowing down when comparing their projected growth to the historical three-year average, says a PricewaterhouseCoopers study.
India is struggling with domestic reforms and China's exports have been hit by slower demand from global trade partners.
The 2.4% annual growth rate in the US, the biggest economy, is accelerating but susceptible to disruption.
Here's a look the centres of opportunity in 2013, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Three countries fall in the category of 'Growing and Accelerating'.
