| Summary: | Doing Business in Kenya 2012 is the
second subnational report of the Doing Business series in
Kenya. In 2009, Doing Business in Kenya 2010 analyzed
quantitative indicators on business regulations for 11
cities: Eldoret, Garissa, Isiolo, Kilifi, Kisumu, Malaba,
Mombasa, Nairobi, Narok, Nyeri, and Thika. This year, Doing
Business in Kenya 2012 documents improvements in the 11
cities previously measured and expands the analysis to 2 new
cities: Kakamega and Nakuru. The cities can be compared
against each other, and with 183 economies worldwide. Doing
Business investigates the regulations that enhance business
activity and those that constrain it. Regulations affecting
4 stages of the life of a business are measured at the
subnational level in Kenya: starting a business, dealing
with construction permits, registering property, and
enforcing contracts. These indicators were selected because
they cover areas of local jurisdiction or practice. The
indicators are used to identify business reforms and the
extent to which these have been effective in simplifying the
procedures, saving time, and lowering the cost of doing
business. The data in Doing Business in Kenya 2012 are
current as of March 2012. |
