Ease of Doing Business Index is a flagship publication of the World Bank Group issued every year measuring/ranking 190 countries on the ease of doing business environment in an economy (by benchmarking business regulations). The Doing Business Project aims to provide an objective basis for understanding and improving the regulatory environment for business around the world.

Doing Business covers 11 areas of business regulation. Ten of these areas-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-are included in the ease of doing business score and ease of doing business ranking. Doing Business also measures features of labor market regulation, which is not included in these two measures.
