| Summary: | This economy profile for Doing Business
2016 presents the 11 Doing Business indicators for Marshall
Islands. To allow for useful comparison, the profile also
provides data for other selected economies (comparator
economies) for each indicator. Doing Business 2016 is the
13th 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 Marshall Islands ranks 140. 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 sheds light on how
easy or difficult it is for a local entrepreneur to open and
run a small to medium-size business when complying with
relevant regulations. It measures and tracks changes in
regulations affecting 11 areas in the life cycle of a
business: starting a business, dealing with construction
permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting
credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading
across borders, enforcing contracts, resolving insolvency
and labor market regulation. The data in this report are
current as of June 1, 2015 (except for the paying taxes
indicators, which cover the period from January to December 2014). |
