The report was released at the press conference and flagship report conference of Boao Forum for Asia 2019 annual meeting held on March 26.

Among them, the ranking of South Korea and Taiwan increased by two places compared with 2017, ranking first and second respectively, while Singapore and Hong Kong, China ranked third and fourth respectively, both down by two places compared with 2017.

Japan, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, mainland China and the United Arab Emirates ranked fifth to tenth respectively.

Among them, Japan has improved its competitiveness by virtue of its economic system and innovation ability, up two places compared with 2017; Australia dropped by two places compared with 2017; Israel, New Zealand and Mainland China still ranked 6th, 8th and 9th in 2017; The UAE climbed to No. 10, up two places from 2017.

Malaysia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Qatar, Oman and Azerbaijan ranked 11th to 20th respectively.

The comprehensive competitiveness of the Philippines, Timor Leste, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Cambodia ranked 31st ~ 37th respectively.

According to the report, from the perspective of comprehensive scores, the comprehensive competitiveness scores of 37 Asian economies have increased, while the gap between the comprehensive competitiveness scores of the top and bottom ranked economies has narrowed, which means that the development gap between developed and developing economies is narrowing.

According to the analysis of the report, Asian economies are still quite different from developed economies in the United States and Europe in terms of per capita income, but they are in the forefront of global economies in terms of economic growth contribution. The economic growth of this region accounts for more than 60% of the world economic growth. Affected by complex international and domestic factors, the competitiveness ranking of Asian economies will change relatively, but the accumulated comprehensive advantages of each economy will not disappear suddenly. As long as there is no large-scale political turmoil, the inertia of development will make the economic and social development of Asian economies maintain steady development.

At the press conference, Boao Forum Secretary General Li Baodong said that at the beginning of this year, the world bank and IMF lowered their global economic growth expectations for this year and next year respectively. The momentum of world economic growth is insufficient, and the problem of unbalanced development is prominent. International Economic and trade frictions have eased, but the trend of anti globalization and protectionism still has a market, and the international multilateral trading system is still facing impact. At the same time, the competition among the world's major countries is becoming increasingly fierce, international hot issues are heating up from time to time, and the unstable and uncertain factors in the international situation are prominent.

"Where is the world economy going? How should countries in Asia and the world respond to challenges and achieve better development? In the face of these major issues, the Boao Forum for Asia is willing to provide a high-end dialogue platform for all parties. " Li Baodong said that he hopes that through our efforts, we will gather more consensus and promote more actions to promote the common development of Asia and the world. At the same time, we uphold the principle of openness and inclusiveness and encourage the collision of different views.
