It measures and tracks changes in regulations affecting 10 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 and resolving insolvency. In a series of annual reports doing business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 183 economies, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, over time. This regional profile presents the doing business indicators for the Middle East and North Africa. 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, 2011 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period January-December 2010).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTANTSACCOUNTINGARREARSAUCTIONSBANK ACCOUNTBANK CREDITBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWSBANKRUPTCY PROCEDURESBORROWERBUSINESS CONSULTANTSBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS PROCESSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONSBUSINESSESBUYERBUYERSCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCENTRAL BANKCERTIFICATECERTIFICATESCHAMBER OF COMMERCECOLLATERALCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWSCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMMERCIAL CODECOMMERCIAL CREDITCOMMERCIAL LAWSCOMMERCIAL REGISTRYCOMPANY LAWSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONTRACT ENFORCEMENTCOPYRIGHTCORPORATE PROFIT TAXCORPORATE TAX RATECREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMSCREDIT SOURCECREDITORCREDITORSCREDITWORTHINESSCUSTOMCUSTOMSCUSTOMS CLEARANCECUSTOMS DECLARATIONSDEBTDEBT LEVELDEBTORDEBTORSDEEDSDEFAULTSDEPOSITDEPRECIATIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOCUMENT REQUIREMENTSDOMAINE-MAILE-SERVICEECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTELECTRICITYELECTRONIC DATAELECTRONIC FILINGELECTRONIC PAYMENTSEXPERT OPINIONEXPORTERSFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSFORECLOSUREGLOBAL MARKETSIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINCOME TAXINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINSTALLATIONINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINVESTMENT PROJECTSINVESTOR PROTECTIONINVESTOR PROTECTIONSISSUANCEJUDICIAL SYSTEMLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL PROTECTIONSLEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLENDERSLETTERS OF CREDITLICENSELICENSESLIENLIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLIQUIDATIONLOAN AMOUNTSLOCAL BUSINESSMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMANAGEMENT SOFTWAREMANAGEMENT SYSTEMMANAGEMENT SYSTEMSMANUFACTURINGMATERIALMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSMINORITY INVESTORSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMINORITY SHAREHOLDER PROTECTIONSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERSMONETARY FUNDMORTGAGEMORTGAGESMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALNEW MARKETSNEW TECHNOLOGYNONPERFORMING LOANSNOTARYONE-STOP SHOPONE-STOP SHOPSOVERHEADPAYMENT SYSTEMPERSONAL ASSETSPERSONAL DATAPHONE LINESPRIVATE BANKSPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC REGISTRYPUBLIC SALEPURCHASINGQUERIESREGISTRATION FEESREGISTRATION PROCESSREGISTRATION SYSTEMREGISTRIESREGISTRYREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPAYMENTRESERVERESULTRESULTSRETURNRETURNSRISK MANAGEMENTRISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSRISK PROFILESSALESSALES AGREEMENTSEARCHSHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDERSSTOCK EXCHANGESUPERVISIONTAXTAX EXEMPTIONSTAX RATETAX RATESTAX REGIMETAX RULESTAX SYSTEMTELEPHONETELEPHONE LINETRADE FINANCETRADINGTRADING COSTSTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS LAWSTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSPARENCYTURNOVERUNSECURED CREDITORSUSESVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEWAREHOUSESWEBWEB PORTALReportWorld Bank10.1596/27005
