Date:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi

PM Narendra Modi governs Indian politics in his own style. His gutsy move to abolish 86% of hard currency overnight on November 8, in order to curb black money, proved that he’s prepared to gamble imposing hardship on millions of people to achieve his image of a modern India: Corruption Free, national trade barriers and a solid move against archrival Pakistan.

Challenges in 2017: Strengthening the Indian economy after the demonetisation and note Ban marked India’s growth possibilities, also struggling a bellwether election in India’s largest state Uttar Pradesh added with four other states, including his home state Gujarat and rolling out a national goods-and-services tax.

US President-Elect Donald Trump

On January 20, the US President-Elect Donald Trump will be sworn in as America’s 45th president. The world’s most powerful nation, the backbone of the global system for almost three-quarters of a century, will be commanded by a person who has never handled political office, who has a narcissistic belief in his own untested techniques and who thinks that being unpredictable is the solution to run a strong administration.

Challenges IN 2017: The 2017 predictions are looking harsh for Europe, with concerns that Trump’s administration and his kinship with Russian President Vladimir Putin will lead to the battle in the Baltic states.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe

Japanese PM Shinzo Abe concludes 2016 with the sort of assistance levels that may persuade him to command elections in 2017, granting him an opportunity to be the longest-serving leader since World War II. While Trump’s win dealt a blow to Abe’s push for an Asia-Pacific trade pact, he rounded off the year by seeking progress on a territorial dispute with Russia and becoming the first Japanese prime minister to visit Pearl Harbor in decades both popular moves at home.

Challenges in 2017: Navigating relations with China while convincing Trump of the importance of the U.S.-Japan alliance.

Congress Vice-president Rahul Gandhi

With the year 2016 coming to an end, it confirmed that Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi completely lost the plot this year, rehashing accusations made by other politicians, calling note ban as an atomic bomb for the common people. The more he raised his speech, the lesser he made any impact. With a Congress in free fall, throughout the year, Rahul failed to develop a model of how Congress party can be the better choice.

Challenges in 2017: To lead Congress in the upcoming 4 state elections including Uttar Pradesh.

Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull

After Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull, experienced his parliamentary majority decreased to one seat in a July election, he has struggled to excite an economy still in development from a drilling boom. Obliged to the right wing of his party, his reputation has declined as he has adopted strategies that seem to run counter to past positions on matters like climate change.

Challenges in 2017: Staving off a potential control contest in his party.

Russian President Vladamir Putin

The year 2016 was a chain of remarkable events, covering many genuine shocks, by anyone’s standards.

But for Russians, it also may be the time that nation began to come in from the chilled overcoming three years of global sanctions and separation, showing their national unity behind President Vladimir Putin, and even moving back the worst economic slump in almost two decades.

Kremlin political Pandit of Russia’s plans appears to be gained success in Syria and Ukraine, while Moscow’s opponents in the West appear to be swamped in confusion. The economists believe Russia’s beleaguered economy will return to an anaemic increase in 2017.

Chinese President Xi Jinping

The year 2016 has been a great year for Chinese President Xi Jinping on his terms.He has proceeded to consolidate government with his continuous anti-corruption campaign, that has brought out some high profile internal authorities and his power has been increased over the People’s Liberation Army.

Also, external relations has continued to be smashed, as China has established quasi-military bases in the South China Sea and state sponsored lending businesses have kept the China’s top-line economic increase ticking along.

 Challenges in 2017: Answering to Donald Trump’s move on matters like commerce and Taiwan, while securing China’s economic improvement lingers on the path in between the power switch.
