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 10 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 and resolving insolvency. In a series of
annual reports doing business presents quantitative
indicators on business regulations and the protection of
property rights that can be compared across 183 economies,
from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, over time. This economy
profile presents the doing business indicators for Puerto
Rico (U.S.). To allow useful comparison, it also provides
data for other selected economies (comparator economies) for
each indicator. The data in this report are current as of
June 1, 2011 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which
cover the period January-December 2010). |
