To allow for useful comparison, the profile also provides data for other selected economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. Doing Business 2015 is the 12th edition in a series of annual reports measuring the regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it. Economies are ranked on their ease of doing business; for 2015 The Philippines ranks 95. A high ease of doing business ranking means the regulatory environment is more conducive to the starting and operation of a local firm. Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 189 economies from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and over time. Doing Business measures regulations affecting 11 areas of the life of a business known as indicators. Ten of these areas are included in this year's ranking on the ease of doing business: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving insolvency. Doing Business also measures labor market regulation, which is not included in this year's ranking. The data in this report are current as of June 1, 2014 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period from January to December 2013).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTACCOUNTINGACCOUNTSARREARSAUCTIONAUTHENTICATIONAVAILABILITY OF CREDITBANK LOANBANK RATEBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWBANKRUPTCY LAWSBONDBORROWERBUSINESS ACTIVITIESBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONSBUSINESSESBUYERCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCAPITAL STOCKCENTRAL BANKCERTIFICATECERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITCERTIFICATE OF TITLECERTIFICATESCOLLATERALCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTSCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWCOLLATERAL LAWSCOLLATERAL REGISTRYCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONFLICTS OF INTERESTCONTRACTORSCOPYRIGHTCORPORATE GOVERNANCECREDIT BUREAUCREDIT BUREAUSCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMSCREDIT SOURCECREDITORCREDITORSCREDITWORTHINESSDATA PRIVACYDEBTDEBTORDEBTSDEEDDEEDSDEFAULTSDEPOSITDISBURSEMENTSDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOMAINE-MAILELECTRICITYEXCHANGE COMMISSIONFAIR MARKET VALUEFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL STATEMENTGOOD PRACTICEIDIDENTIFICATION NUMBERIMAGESIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINSTALLATIONINSTALLATIONSINSURANCEINSURANCE COMPANYINSURANCE CORPORATIONINTEREST RATEINTERNATIONAL BANKINVESTOR PROTECTIONINVESTOR PROTECTIONSISSUANCELABOR MARKETLAND TITLELEASE AGREEMENTLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLENDERSLENDING DECISIONSLEVYLICENSELICENSE FEELICENSESLIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLOAN AMOUNTSLOCAL BUSINESSLOCAL GOVERNMENTMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMANUFACTURINGMATERIALMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSMINORITY INVESTORMINORITY INVESTORSMORTGAGESMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALMUTUAL FUNDNEW MARKETSNOTARIESNOTARYNOTARY PUBLICONE-STOP SHOPONESTOP SHOPORIGINAL ASSETSOVERHEADPAR VALUEPERSONAL ASSETSPOSSESSORY SECURITYPRIVATE PROPERTYPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPURCHASINGQUERIESREAL PROPERTYREGISTRATION FEEREGISTRIESREGISTRYREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY PRACTICEREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPORTINGRESERVERESULTSRETURNSALESSALES AGREEMENTSEARCHSEARCHESSECURITIESSECURITY INTERESTSECURITY INTERESTSSELLINGSERVICE CONTRACTSERVICE PROVIDERSSHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDERSSOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEMSTOCK EXCHANGESUPERVISIONTAXTAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBERTAX RATETELEPHONETELEPHONE CONNECTIONTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSLATIONTRANSPARENCYTURNOVERUSERUSERSUSESVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEWAREHOUSES10.1596/21179
