| Summary: | This economy profile presents the Doing
Business indicators for St. Vincent and the Grenadines. 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 St. Vincent
and the Grenadines ranks 123. 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). |
