Abstract
Doing Business 2020 is the 17th in a
series of annual studies investigating the regulations that
enhance business activity and those that constrain it. Doing
Business presents quantitative indicators on business
regulations and the protection of property rights that can
be compared across 190 economies— from Afghanistan to
Zimbabwe—and over time. Regulations affecting 12 areas of
the life of a business are covered: 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, employing workers, and
contracting with the government. The employing workers and
contracting with the government indicator sets are not
included in this year’s ranking on the ease of doing
business. Data in Doing Business 2020 are current as of May
1, 2019. The indicators are used to analyze economic
outcomes and identify what reforms of business regulation
have worked, where and why. This economy profile presents
indicators for Bahrain; for 2020, Bahrain ranks 173.
