The Philippines was placed in the 15th rank out of 20 countries in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region on Moody’s Analytics’ newly-released Relative COVID-19 Economic Risk Index.

In a statement, Moody’s explained that the index “provides an indication of where further risk may lie from the economic consequences of COVID-19.”
