This case study describes the
experiences and draws lessons from varied business
registration reform programs in economies in vastly
different stages of development: Bulgaria, Estonia, Ireland,
Madagascar, and Malaysia. The case studies were written
based on a desk study of reforms in each country discussed.
Then, more detailed information was gathered by field?based
researchers. In some cases, detail on the business
registration process that was in place prior to
implementation of reforms was unavailable. As such, data on
the number of businesses registered and the time required to
completed registration before and after the reforms cannot
be compared and contrasted. This case study focuses on the
attempts of the government of Estonia (GoE) to promote and
implement reform of the business registration system to
better suit the new economic framework that emerged in the
country following Estonia's independence and the
collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The purpose of this
case study is to show that 1) business registration reform
can be successful, regardless of the institution in charge
of the reform process; and, 2) membership (or the prospect
of membership) in international trade blocs or organizations
such as the European Union (EU) can be a powerful trigger
for business registration reforms. |
