| Summary: | This economy profile for Doing Business
2016 presents the 11 Doing Business indicators for St.
Vincent and the Grenadines. To allow for useful comparison,
the profile also provides data for other selected economies
(comparator economies) for each indicator. Doing Business
2016 is the 13th 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 St. Vincent and the Grenadines
ranks 111. 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 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 minority investors, paying taxes, trading across
borders, enforcing contracts, resolving insolvency and labor
market regulation. The data in this report are current as of
June 1, 2015 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which
cover the period from January to December 2014). |
