It classifies the Philippines as a lower middle income country. Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia on Tuesday, however, said the country is expected to advance to upper middle income status by 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The Philippines is ranked only two notches below India, ranked 52nd, a vastly more populous country which also happens to be its main competitor in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) race.<\/p>\n<p>By comparison the three nations with the highest GII rankings in 2019 are Switzerland, Sweden and the United States, scoring 67.24, 63.65 and 61.73 respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Nigeria, Togo and Yemen have the distinction of having the lowest GII score in 2019, ranking 127, 128 and 129 respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The GII is an annually published ranking of a country&#8217;s capacity for, as well as its successes in innovation, according to a formula worked out by its publishers. The report is published by Cornell University, INSEAD and the World Intellectual Property Organization to track strides in innovation made by various nations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0&#8212; The Philippines is steadily becoming more innovative as it faces the onslaught of domestic and global headwinds.
