Doing Business presents qu
20、antitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 190 economies from Afghanistan to Zimbabweand over time. Regulations affecting 12 areas of the life of a business are covered: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getti
21、ng electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, resolving insolvency, employing workers, and contracting with the government. The employing workers and contracting with the government indicator sets are n
22、ot included in this years ranking on the ease of doing business. Data in Doing Business 2020 are current as of May 1, 2019. The indicators are used to analyze economic outcomes and identify what reforms of business regulation have worked, where and why. vii Foreword The Doing Business 2020 study sho
23、ws that developing economies are catching up with developed economies in ease of doing business. Still, the gap remains wide. An entrepreneur in a low-income economy typ- ically spends around 50 percent of the countrys per-capita income to launch a company, compared with just 4.2 percent for an entr
24、epreneur in a high- income economy. It takes nearly six times as long on average to start a business in the economies ranked in the bottom 50 as in the top 20. Theres ample room for developing economies to catch up with developed countries on most of the Doing Business indicators. Performance in the
25、 area of legal rights, for example, remains weakest among low- and middle-income economies. Doing Business recognizes the important work countries have done to improve their regulatory environments. Among the 10 economies that advanced the most, efforts were focused on the areas of starting a busine
26、ss, dealing with con- struction permits, and trading across borders. In general, economies that score the highest share several features, including the widespread use of electronic systems and online platforms to comply with regulatory requirements. At the same time, the least reformed area was reso
27、lving insolvency. Putting in place reorganization procedures reduces the failure rates of small and medium-size enterprises and prevents the liquidation of insolvent but viable businesses. Doing Business is a valuable tool that governments can use to design sound regulatory policies. By giving polic
28、ymakers a way to benchmark progress, it stimulates policy debate, both by exposing potential challenges and by identi- fying good practices and lessons learned. Its important to note that Doing Business isnt meant to be an investment guide, but rather a measurement of ease of doing business. Potenti

The economies with the most notable improvement in Doing Business 2020 are Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Togo, Bahrain, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Kuwait, China, India, and Nigeria. Only two African economies rank in the top 50 o

Regulation aims to prevent worker mistreatment by greedy employers (regula- tion of labor), to ensure that roads and bridges do not collapse (r
43、eg- ulation of public procurement), and to protect ones investments (minority shareholder protections). All too often, however, regulation misses its goal, and one inefficiency replaces another, especially in the form of government overreach in business activity. Governments in many economies adopt
44、or maintain regulation that burdens entrepreneurs. Whether by intent or ignorance, such regulation limits entrepreneurs ability to freely operate a private business. As a result, entrepreneurs resort to informal activity, away from the oversight of regulators and tax collectors, or seek opportunitie

By documenting changes in regulation in 12 areas of business activ- ity in 190 economies, Doing Business analyzes regulation that encourages efficiency and supports
46、freedom to do business.1 The data collected by Doing Business address three questions about government. First, when do governments change regulation with a view to develop their private sector? Second, what are the characteristics of reformist governments? Third, what are the effects of regulatory c

With these objectives at hand, Doing Business measures the processes for business incorporation, getting a building permit, obtaining an elec- tricity connection, transferri

Doing Business also collects and pub- lishes data on regulation of employment as well as contracting with the government (figure O.1). T

The contracting with the government indicators capture the time and proce- dures involved in a standardized public procurement for road resurfacing. These two indicator sets do not constitute part of the ease of doing business ranking. Research demonstrates a causal relationship between economic freedom and gross domestic product (GDP) growth, where freedom regarding wages and prices, property rights, and lice
