It measures and tracks changes in regulations affecting eleven areas in the life cycle of a business: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, resolving insolvency and employing workers. Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 185 economies, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, over time. The indicators are used to analyze economic outcomes and identify what reforms have worked, where and why. This economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for Lithuania. To allow useful comparison, it also provides data for other selected economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. The data in this report are current as of June 1, 2012 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period January - December 2011).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTACQUISITIONBANK ACCOUNTBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWBORROWERBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESSESBUYERCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCERTIFICATECERTIFICATION AUTHORITYCIVIL CODECOLLATERALCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWCOLLATERAL REGISTRYCOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONSCOMPANY LAWSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONTRACTORSCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT SOURCECREDITORSDEBTORDEBTSDEEDSDEFAULTSDEPOSITDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOMAINE-MAILE-SERVICESE-SIGNATUREELECTRICITYELECTRONIC SERVICEELECTRONIC SIGNATUREENFORCEMENT PROCEDURESEQUIPMENTFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL RESOURCESFLASHGOOD PRACTICEIDIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINFORMATION ON BORROWERSINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMINSPECTIONINSTALLATIONINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINVESTOR PROTECTIONISSUANCELEGAL BASISLEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLENDING DECISIONSLICENSELIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLOCAL BUSINESSLOCAL CURRENCYMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMARKET VALUEMATERIALMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSMINORITY INVESTORSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMINORITY SHAREHOLDER PROTECTIONSMOBILE PHONEMORTGAGEMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALNETWORKSNEW MARKETSNOTARIAL FEENOTARIZATION REQUIREMENTNOTARYNOTARY PUBLICONE-STOP SHOPONLINE REGISTRATIONORIGINAL ASSETSOVERHEADPERSONAL ASSETSPHONE CONNECTIONPILOT PROJECTPLASTIC CARDPOSSESSORY SECURITYPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC REGISTERPUBLIC REGISTRYPURCHASINGQUERIESREAL ESTATE REGISTRYREAL PROPERTYREGISTRATION FEEREGISTRATION OF BUSINESSREGISTRIESREGISTRYREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPAYMENTRESERVERESULTSRIGHT OF OWNERSHIPSALESSALES AGREEMENTSECURITIESSECURITIES REGULATIONSSECURITY INTERESTSERVICE PROVIDERSSETTLEMENTSHAREHOLDERSOCIAL INSURANCE FUNDSTOCK EXCHANGESUPERVISORY BOARDTAXTECHNICAL STANDARDSTELECOMMUNICATIONTELEPHONETELEPHONE LINETELEPHONE SERVICESTIME FRAMETRADE CREDITORSTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSLATIONTRANSPARENCYTURNOVERUSERSUSESVALUATIONVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEWORKING HOURSReportWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/26580
