Five fastest growing in each region

South and East Asia

Overall in the 20th century, Asia was seen as the area with most growth. The trend is expected to continue into the 21st century, with the majority of economic growth in the region being powered by the rapidly expanding economies of China and India, coupled with significant growth occurring in certain parts of South,South-East and especially East Asia. Out of the 10 fastest growing countries in the world, half of that number are located in Asia[1].

Africa

Africa has seen some of the fastest growing economies in the world, but also some of the slowest, including several in decline. Angola, bolstered by oil fields, is the 3rd fastest-growing economy in the world. This contrasts with Zimbabwe, which is experiencing a precipitous decline. Oil in Africa has created "wealth spots" where a few countries have exceeded their neighbors in wealth. Three of the world's ten fastest-growing economies were African, with some having been at time the fastest-growing in the world. Equatorial Guinea, for example, reached 75% growth in 2004 because of oil production.

Europe has had one of the most stable growth rates in the world. The east, in particular, has seen an increase in GDP in recent years. Most countries are growing at a medium speed; however, many smaller countries exceed 7% and grow much faster than their neighbors. Out of the 10 fastest growing countries in the world, one is in Europe.[1]
