| description |
The Doing Business data highlight the
important role of the government and government policies in
the day-to-day life of domestic small and medium-size firms.
The objective is to encourage regulations that are designed
to be efficient, accessible to all who use them and simple
in their implementation. Where regulation is burdensome and
competition limited, success tends to depend on whom one
knows. But where regulation is efficient, transparent and
implemented in a simple way, it becomes easier for aspiring
entrepreneurs to compete on an equal footing and to innovate
and expand. In this sense Doing Business values good rules
as a key to social inclusion. Enabling growth, and ensuring
that all people, regardless of income level, can participate
in its benefits, requires an environment where new entrants
with drive and good ideas can get started in business and
where good firms can invest and grow, thereby creating more
jobs. Doing Business was designed with 2 main types of users
in mind: policy makers and researchers. Doing Business is a
tool that governments can use to design sound policies for
the creation of firms and jobs. But this tool should not be
used in isolation. Doing Business provides a rich
opportunity for benchmarking by capturing key dimensions of
regulatory regimes. Nevertheless, the Doing Business data
are limited in scope and should be complemented with other
sources of information. |
