“The Global Competitiveness Report (GCR) is a yearly report published by the World Economic Forum. Since 2004, the Global Competitiveness Report ranks countries based on the Global Competitiveness Index, developed by Xavier Sala-i-Martin and Elsa V. Artadi. Before that, the macroeconomic ranks were based on Jeffrey Sachs‘s Growth Development Index and the microeconomic ranks were based on Michael Porter‘s Business Competitiveness Index. The Global Competitiveness Index integrates the macroeconomic and the micro/business aspects of competitiveness into a single index.

In a supplement to its Asian Development Outlook 2018 Update report released on Wednesday, the ADB maintained its economic growth outlook for the Philippines at 6.4 percent this year and 6.7 percent for 2019.
The Philippine gross domestic product (GDP) remained strong at 6.3 percent in the first three quarters of 2018, though moderating from 6.8 percent last year.
The investment was the biggest contributor to growth, followed by household consumption.
The ADB also retained its growth forecast for Southeast Asia at 5.1 percent for 2018, assuming robust consumption and infrastructure investment.
The report “assesses the ability of countries to provide high levels of prosperity to their citizens. This, in turn, depends on how productively a country uses available resources. Therefore, the Global Competitiveness Index measures the set of institutions, policies, and factors that set the sustainable current and medium-term levels of economic prosperity.”

GDP per capita is the country’s total economic output divided among its population. This means that Pinoys’ income measured per person is the lowest in ASEAN 5.
Singapore posted the highest per capita GDP in the group at $61,461, followed by Malaysia ($16,976), Thailand ($9,609) and Indonesia ($4,971).
The Philippines’ economic expansion is good news, Albert said. But he added that “much remains to be done to sustain such high growth trajectory and to make it inclusive.”
The statistics chief added that ensuring that growth is sustained and shared by everyone is “not solely the government’s responsibility but is equally shared by the private sector.”
