| Summary: | Reliable cross-country data on aspects
of private sector development are crucial in planning for
economic recovery and growth. In targeting increased exports
and investment, many governments prioritize an improved
climate for business as a basis to attract capital, create
jobs, and provide basic services. The availability of
cross-country data on the business environment has rapidly
expanded in recent years, including data from the World Bank
Group s Doing Business project, Enterprise Surveys, and the
Entrepreneurship Snapshots. Included in this guide are
indicators on the economic and social context, the
investment climate, private sector investment, finance and
banking, and infrastructure. Though a pocket guide cannot
include all relevant variables, the included indicators
provide users with a general understanding of the private
sector in each country. Indicators displayed in the tables
are defined in the glossary, which also lists data sources. |
