| Summary: | This economy profile presents the Doing
Business indicators for Belize. To allow useful comparison,
it also provides data for other selected economies
(comparator economies) for each indicator. Doing Business
2017 is the 14th in a series of annual reports investigating
the regulations that enhance business activity and those
that constrain it. Economies are ranked on their ease of
doing business; for 2016 Belize ranks 110. Doing Business
sheds light on how easy or difficult it is for a local
entrepreneur to open and run a small to medium-size business
when complying with relevant regulations. It measures and
tracks changes in regulations affecting 11 areas in the life
cycle of a business: starting a business, dealing with
construction permits, getting electricity, registering
property, getting credit, protecting minority investors,
paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts,
resolving insolvency, and labor market regulation. Doing
Business 2017 presents the data for the labor market
regulation indicators in an annex. The report does not
present rankings of economies on labor market regulation
indicators or include the topic in the aggregate distance to
frontier score or ranking on the ease of doing business. The
indicators are used to analyze economic outcomes and
identify what reforms have worked, where and why. The data
in this report are current as of June 1, 2016 (except for
the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period
January-December 2015). |
