In 2008, quantitative indicators on business regulations were created for 10 states and Abuja, FCT. This year, Doing Business in Nigeria 2010 expands the analysis to all 36 Nigerian states and Abuja, FCT, and documents progress in the 10 states and the capital previously measured. The states are compared against each other, and with 183 economies worldwide. Doing Business investigates the regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it. Regulations affecting 4 stages of the life of a business are measured at the subnational level in Nigeria: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, registering property, and enforcing contracts. These indicators have been selected because they cover areas of local jurisdiction or practice. The data in Doing Business in Nigeria 2010 are current as of January 2010.en-USCC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGOaccess to servicesaccountaccountsacquisitionsAction Planaverage productivitybackboneBest practicesbusiness activityBusiness Associationbusiness climatebusiness communityBusiness CreationBusiness Economicsbusiness entrybusiness environmentbusiness expansionBusiness functionsBusiness indicatorBusiness indicatorsbusiness registrationbusiness regulationbusiness regulationsbusiness surveysBusiness valuesbusinessescertificatecertificatescommercecommercial activitiescommercial legislationcompany informationcomparative advantagecompetitivenessconsumer goodsCopyrightcost estimatescost savingscustomsdebtdelivery systemDouble Dividende-Governmente-maile-paymente-serviceseconomic activityEconomic AnalysisEconomic CooperationEconomic Effectseconomic growtheconomic impacteconomic situationelectricityelectronic dataElectronic servicesEmpirical AnalysisEnterprise DevelopmentEnterprise SurveyEnterprise Surveysenvironmentalfinancial institutionsforeign investmentGlobal Competitivenessglobal economygood practiceshuman capitalinformation sharinginformation systeminformation systemsinformation technologyinspectionsintellectual propertyinterfacelabor marketsLabor Productivitylegal frameworklegal systemlegislative frameworklicenselicensesManufacturingmaterialMicro Businessnational incomenetworksnew marketsone-stop shopone-stop shopsonline registrationPerformance Indicatorspolicy makersPolitical Economyprivate partnershipprivate sectorprivate sector developmentproductivityproperty rightsquality assurancequeriesregistriesregistryregulatory environmentregulatory frameworkregulatory frameworksregulatory systemsreportingresultresultssearchsearchessecure authenticationservices infrastructurestandard operating proceduressubstitutestargetstax ratestax revenueTelephonetelephone networktrade facilitationTrade PoliciestransactionUserusersusesverificationverificationswagesWorld Bank10.1596/13423
