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 Poland ranks 32. 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 SERVICESACCOUNTACCOUNTSAUCTIONAUDITSAVAILABILITY OF CREDITBANK ACCOUNTBANK ACCOUNTSBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWBANKRUPTCY LAWSBORROWERBUSINESS ACTIVITIESBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONSBUSINESSESBUYERBUYERSCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCERTIFICATECERTIFICATESCHECKSCIVIL LAWCOLLATERALCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTSCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWCOLLATERAL LAWSCOLLATERAL REGISTRYCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BANKCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCOMPUTER SYSTEMCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONFLICTS OF INTERESTCONTRACTORSCOPYRIGHTCORPORATE GOVERNANCECREDIT BUREAUCREDIT BUREAUSCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMSCREDIT SOURCECREDITORCREDITORSCREDITWORTHINESSDEBTDEBTORDEBTSDEEDDEFAULTSDEPOSITDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOMAINE-MAILELECTRICITYELECTRONIC FORMFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INFORMATIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL STATEMENTGOOD PRACTICEHARD COPIESIMAGESIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINFORMATION SERVICEINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINSTALLATIONINSTALLATIONSINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL BANKINVENTORYINVESTOR PROTECTIONINVESTOR PROTECTIONSISSUANCEJOINT STOCK COMPANYLABOR MARKETLEASE AGREEMENTLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLENDERSLENDING DECISIONSLEVYLICENSELICENSESLIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLOAN AMOUNTSLOCAL BUSINESSMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMANAGEMENT SYSTEMMANUFACTURINGMATERIALMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSMINORITY INVESTORMINORITY INVESTORSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMINORITY SHAREHOLDERSMORTGAGEMORTGAGESMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALNETWORKSNEW MARKETSNOTARIESNOTARYNOTARY PUBLICONE-STOP SHOPONLINE REGISTRATIONORIGINAL ASSETSOUTSOURCINGOVERHEADPERSONAL ASSETSPLEDGESPOSSESSORY SECURITYPRIVATE PROPERTYPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPROTOCOLPROTOCOLSPURCHASINGQUERIESREGISTRATION FEEREGISTRIESREGISTRYREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY PRACTICEREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSRESULTRESULTSSALESSALES AGREEMENTSEARCHESSECURITY INTERESTSECURITY INTERESTSSERVICE PROVIDERSSHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDERSSTOCK EXCHANGESUPERVISIONTAXTAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBERTAX RATETECHNICAL STANDARDSTELEPHONETELEPHONE CONNECTIONTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSLATIONTRANSPARENCYTURNOVERUSERSUSESVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEWAREHOUSESWIRE TRANSFER10.1596/21178
