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 10 areas in the life cycle of a business: starting
a business, dealing with construction permits, getting
electricity, registering property, getting credit,
protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders,
enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency. 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 183 economies,
from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, over time. This regional
profile presents the doing business indicators for the
Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). 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, 2011 (except
for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period
January-December 2010). |
