Abstract
This economy profile presents the Doing
Business indicators for Mauritius. To allow useful
comparison, it also provides data for other selected
economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. Doing
Business 2017 is the 14th in a series of annual reports
investigating the regulations that enhance business activity
and those that constrain it. Economies are ranked on their
ease of doing business; for 2016 Mauritius ranks 42. Doing
Business sheds light on how easy or difficult it is for a
local entrepreneur to open and run a small to medium-size
business when complying with relevant regulations. It
measures and tracks changes in regulations affecting 11
areas in the life cycle of a business: starting a business,
dealing with construction permits, getting electricity,
registering property, getting credit, protecting minority
investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing
contracts, resolving insolvency and labor market regulation.
Doing Business 2017 presents the data for the labor market
regulation indicators in an annex. The report does not
present rankings of economies on labor market regulation
indicators or include the topic in the aggregate distance to
frontier score or ranking on the ease of doing business.
The indicators are used to analyze economic outcomes and
identify what reforms have worked, where and why. The data
in this report are current as of June 1, 2016 (except for
the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period
January–December 2015).
