Philippines lags in national technological strength list
The Philippines fell by seven notches to 61st out of 64 in the 2022 edition of most technologically advanced countries ranking by international magazine Global Finance. The report ranks a country’s technological strength across four metrics: internet users as a percentage of a country’s population; LTE users as a percentage of the population; IMD World Competitiveness Center’s Digital Competitiveness Score; and share of a country’s research and development spending to its economic output. Among 11 East and Southeast Asia countries included in the report, the Philippines ranked second lowest, ahead only of Mongolia (63rd).
