In Asia, South Korea is ranked the most innovative economy by the study followed by Singapore, China, Japan, Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates, with Malaysia barely missing out on the top 5 by coming in 6th.

Globally, Switzerland is ranked first in GII for the 5th consecutive year followed by the United States, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands in the top 5.

Malaysia Ranking Upper

For Malaysia specifically, despite our lower overall GII ranking, our economy is among the leaders in Market sophistication by placing 26th globally.

Furthermore, when the study is classified under income groups, Malaysia is actually the third in the world under the upper middle-income segment.
