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 Macedonia, former Yugoslav Republic of. 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 SERVICESACCOUNTINGBANK ACCOUNTBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWBANKRUPTCY PROCEDUREBORROWERBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESSESBUYERCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCERTIFICATECOLLATERALCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWCOLLATERAL REGISTRYCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMPANY LAWSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONTRACTORSCREDIT CARDCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT SOURCECREDITORSDEBTORDEBTSDEEDDEFAULTSDEPOSITDIGITAL SIGNATUREDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOMAINE-MAILECONOMIC ACTIVITYELECTRICITYELECTRONIC SIGNATUREENFORCEMENT PROCEDURESEQUIPMENTFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSGOOD PRACTICEIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINCOME TAXINFORMATION SHARINGINSPECTIONINSTALLATIONINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINVESTOR PROTECTIONISSUANCELAND OWNERSHIPLEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLENDING DECISIONSLEVYLICENSELIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLIQUIDATIONLLCLOCAL BUSINESSMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMANUFACTURINGMARKET VALUEMATERIALMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINORITY INVESTORSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMINORITY SHAREHOLDER PROTECTIONSMORTGAGEMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALNATURAL RESOURCESNEW MARKETSNOTARYNOTARY PUBLICONE-STOP SHOPONLINE REGISTRATIONORIGINAL ASSETSOVERHEADPAYMENT CARDPERSONAL ASSETSPERSONAL DATAPERSONAL DATA PROTECTIONPOSSESSORY SECURITYPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC REGISTRYPURCHASINGQUERIESREAL ESTATE REGISTRYREAL PROPERTYREGISTRATION PROCESSREGISTRATION SYSTEMREGISTRIESREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPAYMENTRESULTRETURNSALESSALES AGREEMENTSECURITIESSECURITIES REGULATIONSSECURITY INTERESTSERVICE PROVIDERSSHAREHOLDERSTOCK EXCHANGESUPERVISIONTAXTAX RATETAX RULESTAX SYSTEMTECHNICAL STANDARDSTELECOMMUNICATIONTELEPHONETELEPHONE LINETELEPHONE SERVICESTRADE CREDITORSTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSLATIONTRANSPARENCYTURNOVERUSERSVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEWEBWEB SITEReportWorld Bank10.1596/26596
