Doing Business 2007: How to Reform
This year’s report focuses on reform, updates indicators developed in the three preceding reports and covers 20 additional economies. The report presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and their enforcement compared across 175 economies—from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe—and over time. Top reformers are identified and best practices in how to reform are highlighted.
Published annually, Doing Business reports investigate global regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it, ranking countries on their “ease of doing business.” Cosponsored by the World Bank and IFC, the Doing Business reports give policymakers the ability to measure regulatory performance in comparison to other countries, learn from global best practices, and prioritize reforms. The indicators are used to analyze economic and social outcomes, such as informality, corruption, unemployment, and poverty.
