| Summary: | Doing Business 2018 is the 15th in a
series of annual reports investigating the regulations that
enhance business activity and those that constrain it. This
economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD) high income countries. Doing Business presents
quantitative indicators on business regulation and the
protection of property rights that can be compared across
190 economies. Doing Business measures aspects of regulation
affecting 11 areas of the life of a business. Ten of these
areas are included in this year’s ranking on the ease of
doing business: starting a business, dealing with
construction permits, getting electricity, registering
property, getting credit, protecting minority investors,
paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts
and resolving insolvency. Doing Business also measures
features of labor market regulation, which is not included
in this year’s ranking. Data in Doing Business 2018 are
current as of June 1, 2017. The indicators are used to
analyze economic outcomes and identify what reforms of
business regulation have worked, where and why. |
