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 economy profile presents the doing business indicators for Iraq. 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 SERVICESACCOUNTACCOUNTINGBALANCE SHEETBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWBANKRUPTCY LAWSBORROWERBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONSBUSINESSESBUYERBUYERSCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCERTIFICATECERTIFICATESCHAMBER OF COMMERCECHAMBERS OF COMMERCECHECKSCOLLATERALCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTSCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWCOLLATERAL LAWSCOLLATERAL REGISTRYCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BANKCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMMERCIAL REGISTRYCOMPANY LAWSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONTRACTORSCOPYRIGHTCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMSCREDIT SOURCECREDITORSDEBTORDEBTSDEEDDEFAULTSDEPOSITDERIVATIVEDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOMAINE-MAILECONOMIC ACTIVITYELECTRICITYELECTRONIC FILINGEMAIL ADDRESSENFORCEMENT PROCEDURESFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSFRAUDGOOD PRACTICEHOLDINGIDIDSIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINCOME TAXINFORMATION SHARINGINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINSTALLATIONINSURANCEINTERFACEINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINVESTOR PROTECTIONINVESTOR PROTECTIONSISSUANCELEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLENDERSLICENSELICENSESLIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLOCAL BUSINESSMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMANUFACTURINGMATERIALMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSMINORITY INVESTORSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMINORITY SHAREHOLDER PROTECTIONSMORTGAGEMORTGAGESMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALNETWORKSNEW MARKETSNOTARIESNOTARYONE-STOP SHOPORIGINAL ASSETSOVERHEADPERSONAL ASSETSPHONE NUMBERPOSSESSORY SECURITYPRIVATE BANKPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC NETWORKPUBLIC REGISTRYPURCHASINGQUERIESREAL ESTATE REGISTRYREAL PROPERTYREGISTRATION FEEREGISTRATION FEESREGISTRATION PROCESSREGISTRIESREGISTRY OFFICEREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPAYMENTRESULTSRETURNSALESSALES AGREEMENTSEARCHSECURITIESSECURITIES REGULATIONSSECURITY INTERESTSERVICE PROVIDERSSHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDERSSTAMP DUTYSTOCK EXCHANGETAXTAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBERTAX RATETAX RATESTAX RULESTAX SYSTEMTECHNICAL DEPARTMENTTELEPHONETELEPHONE CONNECTIONTELEPHONE LINETRADE CREDITORSTRADE NAMESTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSMISSIONTRANSPARENCYTURNOVERUSERSVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEWAREHOUSESReportWorld Bank10.1596/27019
