What the source says

While the annual growth rate in these economies averages 8.5 per cent in 2024, higher than in any of the other groups or regions, this is not sufficient to close the gap anytime soon.

Checked: the figure 8.5%is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
