In the World Competitiveness Yearbook 2016, the Philippines is ranked 42nd among 61 countries, a one-notch fall from its 2015 ranking. While the country’s competitiveness record has been remarkably strong in the annual GCRs represented by a broad leap of 33 notches up in the overall rankings since 2010, recent findings in the WCYs over the same period have pointed to a rather relatively modest and sometimes erratic performance. WCY 2013 placed the Philippines 38th from 43 the previous year, only to fall to 42nd the next year. In 2015, the ranking slightly improved by one notch, but as earlier mentioned, it reverted to 42nd again in overall performance.
