| Summary: | Doing Business 2018 is the 15th in a
series of annual reports investigating the regulations that

economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for
Guinea-Bissau. Doing Business presents quantitative
indicators on business regulation and the protection of
property rights that can be compared across 190 economies;
for 2018 Guinea-Bissau ranks 176. Doing Business measures
aspects of regulation affecting 11 areas of the life of a
business. Ten of these areas are included in this year’s
ranking on the ease of doing business: starting a business,
dealing with construction permits, getting electricity,
registering property, getting credit, protecting minority

measures features of labor market regulation, which is not
included in this year’s ranking. Data in Doing Business 2018
are current as of June 1, 2017. The indicators are used to
analyze economic outcomes and identify what reforms of
