Figure 1
Fourteen line graphs compare F D I and G D P trends from 1970 to 2019 for seven Asian countries.The figure 14 line graphs, arranged in seven rows and two columns. Each pair of line graphs is labeled for a specific country. For each country, the left graph is labeled “F D I” and the right graph is labeled “G D P.” The horizontal axis of all graphs ranges from 1970 to 2015, in increments of 5 years. The details of the graphs are as follows: The graphs in the first row are for “Indonesia.” The vertical axis for “F D I” ranges from negative 4 to 6 in increments of 2. The graph for “F D I” on the left starts at (1970, 1.8), shows fluctuations, and drops to (2000, negative 2.54), increases to (2005, 3.12), and fluctuates and ends at (2019, 2.41). The vertical axis for “G D P” ranges from 2.8 to 3.6 in increments of 0.2. The graph for “G D P” starts at (1970, 2.85), increases to (1997, 3.33), drops slightly and again rises to end at (2019, 3.6). The graphs in the second row are for “Malaysia.” The vertical axis for “F D I” ranges from 0 to 10 in increments of 2. The graph for “F D I” on the left starts at (1970, 2.67), fluctuates, reaches a peak at (1992, 8.8), declines to (2001, 0.80), then shows fluctuations, and ends at (2019, 2.67). The vertical axis for “G D P” ranges from 3.2 to 4.4 in increments of 0.2. The graph for “G D P” starts at (1970, 3.27), increases with small fluctuations to (1997, 3.82), continues upward, and ends at (2019, 4.07). The graphs in the third row are for “Philippines.” The vertical axis for “F D I” ranges from negative 1 to 4 in increments of 1. The graph for “F D I” on the left starts at (1970, 0.20), fluctuates, rises to (1997, 3.28), drops to (2004, 0.71), rises and ends at (2019, 2.12). The vertical axis for “G D P” ranges from 3.1 to 3.6 in increments of 0.1. The graph for “G D P” starts at (1970, 3.16), rises slowly, fluctuates around (1997, 3.27), then increases sharply and ends at (2019, 3.56). The graphs in the fourth row are for “Singapore.” The vertical axis of “F D I” ranges from 0 to 30 in increments of 5. The graph for “F D I” on the left starts at (1970, 5.3), fluctuates with sharp increases, reaches (1999, 22.1), dips, rises, and ends at (2019, 28.4). The vertical axis for “G D P” ranges from 3.8 to 4.8 in increments of 0.2. The graph for “G D P” on the right starts at (1970, 3.85), shows a steady increase, reaching (1997, 4.53), and ends at (2019, 4.80). The graphs in the fifth row are for “Thailand.” The vertical axis of “F D I” ranges from 0 to 7 in increments of 1. The graph for “F D I” on the left starts at (1970, 0.66), fluctuates with distinct peaks at (1998, 6.46), drops, and ends with fluctuations at (2019, 0.85). The vertical axis for “G D P” ranges from 2.8 to 4.0 in increments of 0.2. The graph for “G D P” on the right starts at (1970, 3), rises steadily to (1996, 3.57), increases more gradually, and ends at (2019, 4.83). The graphs in the sixth row are for “S. Korea.” The vertical axis of “F D I” ranges from 0 to 5 in increments of 1. The graph for “F D I” on the left starts at (1970, 0.77), rises sharply to (1972, 4.62), drops steeply and fluctuates below 1 after 1975, peaks at (1999, 2.18), and ends at (2019, 0.75). The vertical axis for “G D P” ranges from 3.2 to 4.8 in increments of 0.4. The graph for “G D P” on the right starts at (1970, 3.34), increases consistently to (1997, 4.2), and ends at (2019, 4.54). The graphs in the seventh row are for “Japan.” The vertical axis of “F D I” ranges from negative 0.2 to 1 in increments of 0.2. The graph for “F D I” on the left starts at (1970, 0.06), remains near zero, increases after 1995, reaching (2007, 0.5), rises with fluctuations and ends at (2019, 0.75). The vertical axis for “G D P” ranges from 4.1 to 4.6 in increments of 0.1. The graph for “G D P” on the right starts at (1970, 4.16), rises steadily to (2006, 4.52), fluctuates and ends at (2019, 4.57). Note: All numerical values are approximated.
