How is a nation’s ease of doing business measured?
Each year the World Bank publishes “Doing Business”, an index measuring the ease of doing business in a given country.
The measurement is based on the following ten factors:
Starting a business
Dealing with construction permits
Getting electricity
Registering property
Getting credit
Protecting Investors
Paying taxes
Cross-border trade
Enforcing contracts
Resolving insolvency
The higher a country’s Doing Business index, the friendlier its regulatory environment for doing business.
