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 Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS). 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 SERVICESACCOUNTACCOUNTANTSACCOUNTINGADMINISTRATIVE COSTSBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWSBORROWERBUSINESS CONSULTANTSBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESSESBUYERCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCERTIFICATECOLLATERALCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWSCOMMERCECOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMMERCIAL CODECOMMERCIAL LAWSCOMPANY LAWSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONTRACT ENFORCEMENTCOPYRIGHTCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT SOURCECREDITORCUSTOMCUSTOMS CLEARANCEDEBTDEBTORDEPOSITDEPRECIATIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOCUMENT REQUIREMENTSDOMAINE-MAILECONOMIC ACTIVITYELECTRICITYELECTRONIC DATAELECTRONIC FILINGENFORCEMENT PROCEDURESENTERPRISE SURVEYSEXPERT OPINIONEXPORTERSFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL SYSTEMFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSFORECLOSUREFORECLOSURE PROCEDURESGLOBAL MARKETSGOVERNMENT POLICIESGPSIDENTIFICATION NUMBERIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINCOME TAXINFORMATION ON BORROWERSINFORMATION SYSTEMINSPECTIONSINSTALLATIONINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVENESSINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINVESTOR PROTECTIONJUDICIAL SYSTEMLEGAL PROTECTIONSLEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLEVYLICENSELIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLIQUIDATIONLOCAL BUSINESSMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMANUFACTURINGMATERIALMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINORITY INVESTORSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMINORITY SHAREHOLDER PROTECTIONSMONETARY FUNDMORTGAGEMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALNATURAL RESOURCESNEW MARKETSNEW TECHNOLOGYNOTARYONE-STOP SHOPORIGINAL ASSETOVERHEADPERSONAL ASSETSPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC REGISTRYPUBLIC SALEPURCHASINGQUERIESREGISTRATION FEEREGISTRYREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREPAYMENTREPORTINGRESULTRETURNSALESSALES AGREEMENTSECURITY INTERESTSHAREHOLDERSTOCK EXCHANGETAXTAX RATETAX RULESTAX SYSTEMTELEPHONETELEPHONE LINETRADINGTRADING COSTSTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS LAWSTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSPARENCYTURNOVERUNSECURED CREDITORSUSESVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEReportWorld Bank10.1596/27129
