| Summary: | Doing Business 2018 is the 15th in a
series of annual reports investigating the regulations that
enhance business activity and those that constrain it. This
economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for
European Union. Doing Business presents quantitative
indicators on business regulation and the protection of
property rights that can be compared across 190 economies.
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 investors, paying taxes, trading
across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving
insolvency. Doing Business also 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 business regulation
have worked, where, and why. |
