This economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for Latin America and Caribbean. 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. 2017-12-28T18:05:14Z 2017-12-28T18:05:14Z 2017-12 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/618761513585486659/Doing-Business-2018-reforming-to-create-jobs-Latin-America-and-Caribbean http://hdl.handle.net/10986/29095 English Doing Business 2018; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Working Paper Latin America & Caribbean Caribbean Central America Latin America South America
