World Data Lab

This is World Data Lab.

We track the global consumer class: who they are, where they're growing, and what they're spending.

If you want to see it live, join us this Wednesday for the World Consumer Outlook #10: After the Oil Shock.

With World Bank Chief Economist Indermit Gill, McKinsey Global Institute Partner Anu Madgavkar, and Brookings Senior Fellow Homi Kharas, we'll take you inside what a macro shock does to consumer spending.

On May 28 (3pm CET / 9am EST), World Data Lab is hosting its 10th World Consumer Outlook, "After the Oil Shock: Consumer Spending in Turbulent Times".

• 123 million people will still enter the consumer class in 2027, adding $3.2 trillion in new spending
• The shock hit unevenly: some markets lost ground, others gained
• In a severe scenario, 40 million people could be held back from the middle class
• Asia and the West are now on fundamentally different growth trajectories
