MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines has improved in terms of its preparedness for technological change in the next few years. The Philippines climbed to the 55th spot out of 82 economies tracked in the latest Technological Readiness Ranking published by the Economist Intelligence Unit on Tuesday. In the EIU’s previous technological readiness rankings for 2013-2017, the Philippines scored 4.7 and tied for the 60th place with Morocco. "As infrastructure development takes hold in the Philippines, it will ramp up the archipelago's technical readiness," the EIU analyst Anwita Basu said in an interview. Australia, Singapore and Sweden topped the EIU’s new technological readiness ranking.
