Doing Business

The World Bank publishes an annual ranking of Doing Business, which reflects the difficulty of opening and running their own business in different countries around the world. This rating directly reflects the level of business climate in the country, which affects the inflow of investment and has a positive impact on the standard of living of the state.

Rating is made on the basis of 10 indicators of business regulation that take into account time and cost of fulfilling by an entrepreneur of requirements of the state for registration of a new company, business activity, trade operations, contract enforcement, taxation and closing of the company. Each indicator is weighted equally. Variables such as macroeconomic policies, quality of infrastructure, skills of the labor force, currency fluctuations, investor opinion, security and the level of corruption are not taken into account. Thus, the business environment of the world’s countries is considered without taking into account political aspects, solely at the level of government regulation. In the final rating all countries are ranked by the level of favorable conditions for doing business from 1 to 189 places, the first place being the highest. The high position of the country means that it is fast, easy and safe to open and conduct business in this country. The current ranking reflects the situation for 2020.

The table contains a summary ranking of the countries of the world on the indicator of the ease of doing business, as well as data on ten indicators of business regulation:

Business registration.
Obtaining building permits.
Getting connected to electric supply.
Registration of property.
Getting credit.
Protecting investors.
Taxation.
International trade.
Contract enforcement.
Liquidation of enterprises.
The indicators are listed in the table under their numbers, respectively – from No. 1 to No. 10.
