Doing Business in 2007: How to reform

Doing Business in 2007 is the fourth in a series of annual reports investigating regulations that ease doing business and those that constrain it.

Reforms of regulation are making it easier to do business worldwide, including in Africa, a region where the private sector faces some of its biggest challenges. The World Bank and IFC, in their fourth yearly Doing Business report, rank 175 economies on the ease of doing business. The report pinpoints some 213 specific reforms in over 100 economies. It explores when and how it is most effective for governments to streamline their business regulations.
