Summary: | This economy profile for Doing Business
2015 presents the 11 Doing Business indicators for
Equatorial Guinea. To allow for useful comparison, the
profile also provides data for other selected economies
(comparator economies) for each indicator. Doing Business
2015 is the 12th edition in a series of annual reports
measuring the regulations that enhance business activity and
those that constrain it. Economies are ranked on their ease
of doing business; for 2015 Equatorial Guinea ranks 165. A
high ease of doing business ranking means the regulatory
environment is more conducive to the starting and operation
of a local firm. 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 and over time. Doing Business
measures regulations affecting 11 areas of the life of a
business known as indicators. 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 labor market
regulation, which is not included in this year's
ranking. The data in this report are current as of June 1,
2014 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover
the period from January to December 2013). |
