The US topped the World Competitiveness Yearbook 2007.
From the Philippine Star:
In the same report, the Philippines slipped from 42nd (2006) ~45th (2007), despite its current Balance of Payments (BOP) surplus, record strong currency and gains in the BPO sector.
This is in contrast to the Global Competitiveness Report 2006-2007 published by the World Economic Forum (WEF) on September 2006 where the US slipped from 1st to 6th and the US is supposed to have gained a bit from its previous year's ranking.
