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. Doing Business 2017 presents the data for
the labor market regulation indicators in an annex. The
report does not present rankings of economies on labor
market regulation indicators or include the topic in the
aggregate distance to frontier score or ranking on the ease
of doing business. In a series of annual reports Doing
Business presents quantitative indicators on business
regulations and the protection of property rights that can
be compared across 190 economies, from Afghanistan to
Zimbabwe, over time. The data set covers 48 economies in
Sub-Saharan Africa, 32 in Latin America and the Caribbean,
25 in East Asia and the Pacific, 25 in Eastern Europe and
Central Asia, 20 in the Middle East and North Africa and 8
in South Asia, as well as 32 OECD high-income economies. The
indicators are used to analyze economic outcomes and
identify what reforms have worked, where and why. This
economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for
Afghanistan. To allow useful comparison, it also provides
data for other selected economies (comparator economies) for
each indicator. The data in this report are current as of
June 1, 2016 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which
cover the period January–December 2015). |
