| Summary: | This report assesses some of the more
significant doing business indicators including how easy it
is to register a business, obtain a license, transfer
property, connect basic utilities, and obtain an overdraft
in 8 regions of Tanzania. The time and cost of completing
these transactions play a significant role for local
investors in their decision of whether to operate in a
country's formal sector, thus affecting its investment
and growth performance. The doing business assessment
provides an index for measuring the ease of doing business
across 175 developing and developed countries. The
assessment promotes awareness of and focus on private sector
needs, and oftentimes competition in reform programs among
countries.The indicators look at 10 key operating areas for
a firm, ranging from starting up and getting credit to
closing the business. The report studies a theoretical firm.
Data is based on research of laws and regulations in a
country's main business city or capital. Input and
verification are supplied by local government officials,
lawyers, business consultants, accountants, and other
professionals who routinely administer or advise on legal
and regulatory requirements. The most important objective of
this sub national report and related survey is to help the
local governments and agency officials who directly
facilitate firm operations within the regions to better
understand and more effectively help Tanzania's
businesses increase their investment, enhance their
productivity, and drive the country's economic growth. |
