| Summary: | This economy profile presents the Doing
Business indicators for United Kingdom. To allow useful
comparison, it also provides data for other selected
economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. Doing
Business 2017 is the 14th in a series of annual reports
investigating the regulations that enhance business activity
and those that constrain it. Economies are ranked on their
ease of doing business; for 2016 United Kingdom ranks 6.
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. Doing Business 2017 presents the
data for the labor market regulation indicators in an annex.
The report does not present rankings of economies on labor
market regulation indicators or include the topic in the
aggregate distance to frontier score or ranking on the ease
of doing business. The indicators are used to analyze
economic outcomes and identify what reforms have worked,
where, and why. The data in this report are current as of
June 1, 2016 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which
cover the period January-December 2015). |
