To allow for useful comparison, the profile also provides data for other selected economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. Doing Business 2015 is the 12th edition in a series of annual reports measuring the regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it. Economies are ranked on their ease of doing business; for 2015 Mauritius ranks 28. A high ease of doing business ranking means the regulatory environment is more conducive to the starting and operation of a local firm. Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 189 economies from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and over time. Doing Business measures regulations affecting 11 areas of the life of a business known as indicators. Ten of these areas are included in this year's ranking on the ease of doing business: 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 labor market regulation, which is not included in this year's ranking. The data in this report are current as of June 1, 2014 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period from January to December 2013).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTACCOUNTINGACCOUNTING POLICIESAUCTIONAUDIT COMMITTEEAUDIT REPORTSAUDITSAVAILABILITY OF CREDITBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWBANKRUPTCY LAWSBORROWERBUSINESS ACTIVITIESBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS FACILITATIONBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS OPERATIONSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONSBUSINESSESBUYERBUYERSCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCERTIFICATECERTIFICATESCHECKSCOLLATERALCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTSCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWCOLLATERAL LAWSCOLLATERAL REGISTRYCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMPANY LAWSCOMPETITIVENESSCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONFLICTS OF INTERESTCONTRACTORSCOPYRIGHTCORPORATE GOVERNANCECREDIT BUREAUCREDIT BUREAUSCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION BUREAUCREDIT INFORMATION BUREAUSCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMSCREDIT SOURCECREDITORCREDITORSCREDITWORTHINESSDATABASE SYSTEMDEBTDEBTORDEBTSDEEDDEEDSDEFAULTSDEPOSITDEPOSITSDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOMAINE-MAILELECTRICITYENTERPRISE SURVEYFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL STATEMENTFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSGOOD PRACTICEHANDICRAFTIDIMAGESIMMOVABLE PROPERTYIMPACT ASSESSMENTINCOME TAXINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINSTALLATIONINTERNAL PROCESSESINTERNATIONAL BANKINVESTOR PROTECTIONINVESTOR PROTECTIONSISSUANCELABOR MARKETLEASE AGREEMENTLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLENDERSLENDING DECISIONSLEVYLICENSELICENSE FEELICENSE FEESLICENSESLIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLOAN AMOUNTSLOCAL BUSINESSLOCAL GOVERNMENTMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMANAGEMENT SYSTEMMANUFACTURINGMATERIALMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSMINORITY INVESTORMINORITY INVESTORSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMINORITY SHAREHOLDERSMORTGAGEMORTGAGESMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALNATURAL RESOURCESNEW MARKETSNOTARIESNOTARYNOTARY PUBLICONE-STOP SHOPONLINE REGISTRATIONORIGINAL ASSETSOVERHEADPAYMENT INFORMATIONPENSIONPERSONAL ASSETSPOSSESSORY SECURITYPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE PROPERTYPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPURCHASINGQUERIESREGISTRATION APPLICATIONREGISTRATION FEEREGISTRATION FEESREGISTRIESREGISTRYREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY PRACTICEREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPORTINGRESERVERESULTSRETURNSALESSALES AGREEMENTSEARCHESSECURITIESSECURITIES REGULATIONSSECURITY INTERESTSECURITY INTERESTSSERVICE PROVIDERSSHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDERSSTAMP DUTYSTOCK EXCHANGETAXTAX RATETAX RATESTAX RULESTAX SYSTEMTELEPHONETELEPHONE CONNECTIONTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSLATIONTRANSPARENCYTURNOVERUNIQUE IDENTIFIERUSERSUSESVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEWAREHOUSESWEBWEB SITES10.1596/21203
