| Summary: | Doing Business 2018 is the 15th in a
series of annual reports investigating the regulations that

economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for
Antigua and Barbuda. Doing Business presents quantitative
indicators on business regulation and the protection of
property rights that can be compared across 190 economies;
for 2018 Antigua and Barbuda ranks 107. Doing Business
measures aspects of regulation affecting 11 areas of the
life of a business. Ten of these areas are included in this
year’s ranking on the ease of doing business: starting a

Business also measures features of labor market regulation,
which is not included in this year’s ranking. Data in Doing
Business 2018 are current as of June 1, 2017. The indicators
