Abstract
Doing Business was the first global
indicator created to measure aspects of regulation that
enable or hinder the owners of small and medium-size
businesses in starting, operating or expanding their
companies. In its annual publication, each economy is
represented by its largest business city and compared
globally with another one hundred and eighty-seven
economies. Doing Business in the European Union 2020 Italy
benchmark twenty-four additional cities, capturing regional
differences in regulations and their enforcement. This
report focuses on the rules and regulations that govern
business activity across Italy, as well as on the efficacy
of the bureaucracy at local level. This layer of
administration is especially important in a country like
Italy, where local authorities play a crucial role in
determining how national regulations are implemented.
Cities’ variations in regulatory performance on the five
Doing Business indicators studied in this report highlight
an opportunity for local policymakers to adopt in-country
examples of good practices to improve regulatory performance
in their jurisdictions.
