Methodological explanations

Ease of doing business index is meant to measure regulations directly affecting businesses and does not directly measure more general conditions such as a nation's proximity to large markets, quality of infrastructure, inflation, or crime. A nation's ranking on the index is based on the average of 10 subindices:

  1. starting a business - procedures, time, cost and minimum capital to open a new business;
  2. dealing with construction permits - procedures, time and cost to build a warehouse;
  3. getting electricity - time and cost required for a business to obtain a permanent electricity connection for a newly constructed warehouse;
  4. registering property - procedures, time and cost to register commercial real estate;
  5. getting credit - strength of legal rights index, depth of credit information index;
  6. protecting investors - indices on the extent of disclosure, extent of director liability and ease of shareholder suits;
  7. paying taxes - number of taxes paid, hours per year spent preparing tax returns and total tax payable as share of gross profit;
  8. trading across borders - number of documents, cost and time necessary to export and import;
  9. enforcing contracts - procedures, time and cost to enforce a debt contract;
  10. resolving insolvency - time, cost and recovery rate under bankruptcy proceeding.
