Within APAC, Southeast Asian cities also recorded remarkable progress in the wider ranking, with Kuala Lumpur jumping 17 places to claim the 55th spot, while Bangkok took the 34th spot, a jump from 45th place last year. Notably, Kuala Lumpur's position was shaped by increases in nearly all dimensions, with significant rises in business activity and human capital, including strong performance in the new ease of entry metric.
