3 Income & Wealth Wealthier and Healthier: Emerging Markets are Catching Up with Developed World but still a sizeable Gap

4 First, the static picture to identify where do we stand? World: Wealth and Health (212) (GDP per cápita in US$ and Life Expecancy) Source: Gapminder through World Bank Data Income & Wealth Developed Economies Emerging Economies Frontier Economies

5 The Catch Up will continue: GDP per capita growth differences will remain important GDP per capita Growth Rate (198-22) (% yoy, in nominal PPP-adjusted USD) Source: BBVA Research Advanced Economies Advanced economies Major advanced economies (G7) European Union Other advanced economies Income & Wealth Central and eastern Europe Emerging Economies Commonwealth of Independent States Newly industrialized Asian economies Developing Asia Latin America and the Caribbean Middle East and North Africa

15 The EM growth has been somehow a pro poor growth Inclusive Growth Selected Asia: Change in Poverty Headcount Ratio (in percentage points, since 199) Source: IMF Regional Economic Outlook: Asia and Pacific Poverty: % of People living under 1.5$ per day (at 25 ppp prices) Source: IMF Regional Economic Outlook: Asia and Pacific
