dc.description.abstractThis Brief examines regulatory indicators that promote firm entry, ease of contracting with the government, fairness, transparency, and best value for money in public procurement systems across 50 economies. Drawing on indicators from the novel Public Procurement category under the Market Competition topic of the World Bank's Business Ready (B-READY) project, the analysis develops Composite Procurement Category scores categorized by economy income level. This approach offers a new perspective on considering procurement regulations and services from a competition standpoint. The study presents the current conditions and reveals that good practices in fostering competition in public procurement can be adopted and implemented regardless of an economy's income level. Findings show a signifcant variation in the adoption of digital procurement, which affects transparency and entry barriers, as well as disparities in gender representation, which weakens competition and dynamism in these markets. en
