| Summary: | 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. In a
series of annual reports Doing Business presents
quantitative indicators on business regulations and the
protection of property rights that can be compared across
190 economies, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, over time. The
data set covers 48 economies in Sub-Saharan Africa, 32 in
Latin America and the Caribbean, 25 in East Asia and the
Pacific, 25 in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, 20 in the
Middle East and North Africa and 8 in South Asia, as well as
32 OECD high-income economies. This economy profile presents
the Doing Business indicators for Afghanistan. To allow
useful comparison, it also provides data for other selected
economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. 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). |
