This years ranking was a decline from last year, when the country ranked 133rd out of 178 economies. Last years ranking, however, was adjusted to 136th place because of the inclusion of three new countries—Qatar, Bahrain and the Bahamas.The Philippines was behind most of its Asian neighbors. Singapore, for the third consecutive year, topped the ranking. Thailand and Malaysia landed on the 13th and 14th spot, respectively, while Brunei ranked 88th. Vietnam was on the 92nd spot while Indonesia and Cambodia ranked 129th and 135th, respectively.The Philippines performed better than Asian neighbors Laos and East Timor .The Doing Business 2009 is the sixth in a series of reports that rank economies based on regulations affecting 10 stages of the life of a business: staring a business, dealing with construction permits, employing workers, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts and closing a business.The report, however, does not cover quality of infrastructure, investor perception or crime rates, macroeconomic policies, and currency volatility.Reform in trade regulationBut the report noted that the country implemented positive reform in regulating trading across border. The Philippines upgraded the risk management and electronic data interchange system for customs, reducing the time to import by a day. Despite this improvement, the countrys ranking in the trading across border indicator fell from 57th to 58th place because of the increase in the cost of importing and exporting. The study showed that the cost of exporting rose from US$800 last year to US$816 while the cost of importing increased from US$800 to US$819.Rising fuel cost and currency appreciation caused the rise in the cost of importing and exporting, said Kim Jacinto-Henares, senior private sector development specialist of IFC-WB.Among the indicators, the Philippines ranked high on trading across border but very low in closing a business . Below is a table showing the Philippines ranking in the 10 indicators of the report.Greatest momentumEast Asia and the Pacific region, the study showed, had the greatest momentum in reforming business regulations. The study identified 26 reforms between June 2007 and June 2008 that make it easier to do business in 24 economies in the region.Countries in the region are clearly committed to reform agendas, said Dahlia Khalifa, a co-author of the report, in a statement. Regardless of their stage of economic development, they are recognizing the role that regulatory reform can play in staying competitive while boosting entrepreneurship and job creation.China, one of the worlds emerging markets, landed on the 83rd spot but was cited for positive reforms in getting credit, paying taxes and closing business.The study showed that Thailand implemented reforms that protect investors and make it easier to get credit, pay taxes, and trade across borders. It made paying taxes easier by reducing some fees and facilitating online filing and payments. An internet-based customs clearance system reduced the number of documents that must be submitted for imports and exports.Vietnam, meanwhile, was cited for reforms in getting credit by making its public credit registry keep records longer and provide financial institutions data on repayment history and debt capacity of potential borrowers.Singapore reduced the number of days spent for dealing with construction permits from 102 days to 38.Economies need rules that are efficient, easy to use, and accessible to all who have to use them. Otherwise, businesses get trapped in the unregulated, informal economy, where they have less access to finance and hire fewer workers, and where workers lack the protection of labor law, said Michael Klein, World Bank/IFC vice president for financial and private sector development, in a statement.The top 25 economies are, in order, Singapore, New Zealand, the United States, Hong Kong , Denmark, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Norway, Iceland, Japan, Thailand, Finland, Georgia, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Bahrain, Belgium, Malaysia, Switzerland, Estonia, Korea, Mauritius, and Germany. We do not know if they are making reforms in response to the slowing global economy but they are making reforms to be more competitive, said World Bank economist Rita Ramalho.
