I haven't observed these countries closely, so I don't have any „opinions“, but I would like to pay more attention to them.
1. Philippines: Since 2012, we have been growing at an average annual rate of approximately 6% (Economist link, gated).
2. Egypt: Continues to grow at an average annual rate of 4%and more recently rising.This country seems to have regained some of it, too. cultural vitality?
3. Benin:Economic growth is now Stable above 6%. And this comes along with poor performance in neighboring Nigeria.
I wish you the best…
