This regional profile presents the Doing
Business indicators for economies in Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC). It also shows the regional average, the
best performance globally for each indicator and data for
the following comparator regions: East Asia and the Pacific,
European Union, Latin America, OECD High Income and South
Asia. The data in this report are current as of June 1,
2013, except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover
the period January to December 2012. Regional Doing Business
reports capture differences in business regulations and
their enforcement across countries in a single region. They
provide data on the ease of doing business, rank each
location, and recommend reforms to improve performance in
each of the indicator areas. The report sheds light on how
easy or difficult it is for a local entrepreneur to open and
run a small to medium-size business when complying with
relevant regulations. It measures and tracks changes in
regulations affecting 11 areas in the life cycle of a
business: starting a business, dealing with construction
permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting
credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across
borders, enforcing contracts, resolving insolvency and
employing workers. Doing Business presents quantitative
indicators on business regulations and the protection of
property rights that can be compared across 189 economies,
from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, over time. The data set covers
47 economies in Sub-Saharan Africa, 33 in Latin America and
the Caribbean, 25 in East Asia and the Pacific, 25 in
Eastern Europe and Central Asia, 20 in the Middle East and
North Africa and 8 in South Asia, as well as 31 OECD
high-income economies. The indicators are used to analyze
economic outcomes and identify what reforms have worked,
where and why. |
