Manila, officially known as the City of Manila, is the capital city of the Philippines. According to the census in 2015, Manila is the second most populated city in the country with a population of 1,780,148. It is also highly urbanized and the most densely populated city in the world, with 71,263 inhabitants per kilometer square.  

With an increase in population, there is always an increase in trade. Manila, along with Mexico City and Madrid, is thought to be one of the earliest global cities in the world. Manila’s commercial trade was the first to spread across the Pacific Ocean that linked Asia with the Spanish Americans.

The economy in Manila transitioned from an agro-based to a highly industrialized one. With industrialization, the population also increased drastically as the people moved from rural areas to towns and cities. Now, the city has various trades with about 60,000 establishments that focus on commerce, banking, finance, retail, transport, tourism, real estate, media, advertising, legal services, accounting, theatre, insurance, fashion, and arts. With more trade, comes more competition and the need to excel.

Based on the 2016 CMCI, Manila was the second most competitive city in the country. Previously, it was the first most competitive city in 2015, but since then it has been holding its name in the top 3. It shows that Manila is one of the best places for business ventures. Lars Wittig, the country manager of Regus Philippines swore that Manila is the third best city in the Philippines for start-up businesses.
