Abstract
The Doing Business project provides
objective measures of business regulations and their
enforcement across 190 economies and selected cities at the
subnational and regional level. Doing Business captures
several important dimensions of the regulatory environment
as it applies to local firms. It provides quantitative
indicators on regulation for starting a business, dealing
with construction permits, getting electricity, registering
property, getting credit, protecting minority investors,
paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts,
and resolving insolvency. Doing Business also measures
features of labor market regulation. By gathering and
analyzing comprehensive quantitative data to compare
business regulation environments across economies and over
time, Doing Business encourages economies to compete towards
more efficient regulation; offers measurable benchmarks for
reform; and serves as a resource for academics, journalists,
private sector researchers, and others interested in the
business climate of each economy. In addition, Doing
Business offers detailed subnational reports, which
exhaustively cover business regulation and reform in
different cities and regions within a nation. These reports
provide data on the ease of doing business, rank each
location, and recommend reforms to improve performance in
each of the indicator areas. Selected cities can compare
their business regulations with other cities in the economy
or region and with the 190 economies that Doing Business has ranked.
