| Summary: | Excessive bureaucracy at any time is
a burden on companies. In the context of the recovery from
the COVID-19 crisis, it is an additional hurdle that
jeopardizes the ability of small and medium enterprises to
survive. Using the example of Italy, and drawing on primary
data from the World Bank’s Subnational Doing Business
studies, this brief highlights how identifying local good
practices in regulating the business environment and
promoting them to national standards is one of the most
powerful tools policy makers have to sustain firms’ creation
and growth, reduce spatial inequality, and help create
economic opportunities. |
