| 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
South Asia. 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. |
