In late December 2016, Bloomberg released a comparison of the performance of Asian leaders. The publication noted that the Philippines, under the leadership of Duterte, achieved the most brilliant economic growth among other Asian countries, reaching 7.1 percent. This figure was smaller than India's economic growth under Narendra Modi, which reached 7.3 percent. However, India's growth experienced a decline compared to the previous year.
Japan experienced the smallest growth among its Asian counterparts. Japan's economy under Shinzo Abe only grew by 0.9 percent. Similarly, South Korea under Park Geun-hye, who was eventually ousted on December 9, 2016, saw its economic growth reach only 2.6 percent.
