| 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
Southern African Development Community (SADC). Doing
Business presents quantitative indicators on business
regulation and the protection of property rights that can be
compared across 190 economies; for 2018 Southern African
Development Community (SADC). 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. |
