| Summary: | Doing Business 2018 is the 15th in a
series of annual reports investigating the regulations that
enhance business activity and those that constrain it. This
economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for
Guyana. Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on
business regulation and the protection of property rights
that can be compared across 190 economies; for 2018 Guyana
ranks 126. 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, dealing with
construction permits, getting electricity, registering
property, getting credit, protecting minority investors,
paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts,
and resolving insolvency. Doing 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 are used to
analyze economic outcomes and identify what reforms of
business regulation have worked, where, and why. |
