The Ethiopia Investment Climate Program,
managed by the World Bank Group’s Trade and Competitiveness
Global Practice aims at streamlining and simplifying high
priority regulatory practices and processes burdensome to
the private sector and address investment climate issues
that are holding back investment and productivity growth in
Ethiopia. This report presents a summary of the major
findings about the business registration and licensing
regime in Ethiopia and develops recommendations for
streamlining and improving it. The report is based on an
in-depth review of the country’s more than 1,300 licenses; a
detailed analysis at a sector level is presented in Annex
three. This report consists of two main parts: in Chapter
two, we present an estimate of the costs which the
registration and licensing regime in Ethiopia imposes on the
business sector in the country. Chapter three then presents
the key findings and recommendations based on the detailed
analysis of Ethiopia’s licensing regime and implementation
practice, the details of which are presented in the
Inventory of Business Licenses. A brief concluding chapter
summarizes the recommendations and provides an estimate of
the positive effects which they could have both for
businesses and Government. |
