about +0.9% higher growth, illustrated by the Dominican outcomes, particularly in emerging economies, though Republic, and is strongest in Africa, where a 10pts increase in SRl is associated with roughly +1.5% higher GDP per structural factors such as institutional quality, economic important drivers. The relationship is strongest in emerging markets, where a 1pt (10pts) increase in the SRl corresponds to roughly +0.1% (+1%) higher long-term GDP per capita growth per year. In high-income economies, the association is smaller, with a 1pt (10pts) increase corresponding to about +0.05% (+0.5%) higher growth (R2 = 0.0257). Regionally, the relationship appears somewhat stronger in Emerging Asia, where a 10pts increase in resilience corresponds to roughly +0.6% higher growth (R2 = 0.0858). India stands out as a positive outlier, combining robust long-term growth (+5.7%) with large resilience gains, while Vietnam represents a divergence case, posting strong growth despite declining resilience. The relationship becomes more pronounced in Latin America (R2 = 0.1767),
