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 Puerto Rico ranks 57. A high ease of
doing business ranking means the regulatory environment is

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
