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 Germany. 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). The data not only highlight the extent of obstacles to doing business; they also help identify the source of those obstacles, supporting policy makers in designing regulatory reform.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESAUTHENTICATIONBANK ACCOUNTBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWBANKRUPTCY LAWSBORROWERBROKERSBUSINESS ACTIVITYBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONSBUSINESSESBUYERBUYERSCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCERTIFICATECERTIFICATESCHAMBER OF COMMERCECIVIL CODECOLLATERALCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTSCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWCOLLATERAL LAWSCOLLATERAL REGISTRYCOMMERCECOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMMERCIAL REGISTRYCOMPANY LAWSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONTRACTORSCOPYRIGHTCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMSCREDIT SOURCECREDITORSDEBTORDEBTSDEEDDEFAULTSDEPOSITDERIVATIVEDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMDOMAINE-MAILECONOMIC ACTIVITYELECTRICITYELECTRONIC FORMELECTRONIC PLATFORMENFORCEMENT PROCEDURESESCROWFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFIXED COSTSFRAUDGOOD PRACTICEHOLDINGIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINSTALLATIONINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINVESTOR PROTECTIONINVESTOR PROTECTIONSISSUANCELEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLENDERSLICENSELICENSESLIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLOCAL BUSINESSMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMANUFACTURINGMATERIALMATURITYMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSMINORITY INVESTORSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMINORITY SHAREHOLDER PROTECTIONSMORTGAGEMORTGAGESMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALNEW MARKETSNOTARIESNOTARYNOTARY PUBLICONE-STOP SHOPORIGINAL ASSETSOVERHEADPERSONAL ASSETSPOSSESSORY SECURITYPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC REGISTERPUBLIC REGISTRYPURCHASINGQUERIESREAL PROPERTYREGISTRATION FEEREGISTRATION FEESREGISTRATION LAWSREGISTRATION PROCESSREGISTRIESREGISTRYREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPAYMENTRESULTSRETURNSALESSALES AGREEMENTSECURITIESSECURITIES REGULATIONSSECURITY INTERESTSERVICE PROVIDERSSHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDERSSTATUTORY LAWSTOCK EXCHANGESUPERVISIONTAXTAX RATETAX RATESTAX RULESTAX SYSTEMTELEPHONETELEPHONE LINETIME PERIODTRADE CREDITORSTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSPARENCYTRUSTEETURNOVERUSERSUSESVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEWAREHOUSESWIRE TRANSFERReportWorld Bank10.1596/27011
