Foreword
The Doing Business 2020 study shows that developing economies are catching
up with developed economies in ease of doing business.
Still, the gap remains wide. An entrepreneur in a low-income economy typ-
ically spends around 50 percent of the country’s per-capita income to launch
a company, compared with just 4.2 percent for an entrepreneur in a high-­
income economy. It takes nearly six times as long on average to start a business
in the economies ranked in the bottom 50 as in the top 20.
There’s ample room for developing economies to catch up with developed
countries on most of the Doing Business indicators. Performance in the area of legal
rights, for example, remains weakest among low- and middle-income economies.
Doing Business recognizes the important work countries have done to improve
their regulatory environments. Among the 10 economies that advanced the
most, efforts were focused on the areas of starting a business, dealing with con-
struction permits, and trading across borders. In general, economies that score
the highest share several features, including the widespread use of electronic
systems and online platforms to comply with regulatory requirements.
At the same time, the least reformed area was resolving insolvency. Putting in
place reorganization procedures reduces the failure rates of small and medium-size
enterprises and prevents the liquidation of insolvent but viable businesses.
Doing Business is a valuable tool that governments can use to design sound
regulatory policies. By giving policymakers a way to benchmark progress, it
stimulates policy debate, both by exposing potential challenges and by identi-
fying good practices and lessons learned.
It’s important to note that Doing Business isn’t meant to be an investment guide,
but rather a measurement of ease of doing business. Potential investors consider
many other factors, such as the overall quality of an economy’s business environ-
ment and its national competitiveness, macroeconomic stability, development of
the financial system, market size, rule of law, and the quality of the labor force.
Ease of doing business is an important springboard to structural reforms that
encourage broad-based growth. The World Bank Group stands ready to help
countries move forward.

OVERVIEW
Tackling burdensome
regulation
Worldwide, 115 economies made it easier to do business.

The economies with the most notable improvement in


Doing Business 2020 are Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Togo, Bahrain,
Tajikistan, Pakistan, Kuwait, China, India, and Nigeria.

Only two African economies rank in the top 50 on the ease


of doing business; no Latin American economies rank in
this group.

2 DOING BUSINESS 2020

A
t its core, regulation is about freedom to do business. Regulation
aims to prevent worker mistreatment by greedy employers (regula-
tion of labor), to ensure that roads and bridges do not collapse (reg-
ulation of public procurement), and to protect one’s investments (minority
shareholder protections). All too often, however, regulation misses its goal,
and one inefficiency replaces another, especially in the form of government
overreach in business activity. Governments in many economies adopt or
maintain regulation that burdens entrepreneurs. Whether by intent or
ignorance, such regulation limits entrepreneurs’ ability to freely operate a
private business. As a result, entrepreneurs resort to informal activity, away
from the oversight of regulators and tax collectors, or seek opportunities
abroad—or join the ranks of the unemployed. Foreign investors avoid econ-
omies that use regulation to manipulate the private sector.
By documenting changes in regulation in 12 areas of business activ-
ity in 190 economies, Doing Business analyzes regulation that encourages
efficiency and supports freedom to do business.1 The data collected by
Doing Business address three questions about government. First, when do
governments change regulation with a view to develop their private sector?
Second, what are the characteristics of reformist governments? Third, what
are the effects of regulatory change on different aspects of economic or
investment activity? Answering these questions adds to our knowledge of
development.
With these objectives at hand, Doing Business measures the processes
for business incorporation, getting a building permit, obtaining an elec-
tricity connection, transferring property, getting access to credit, protecting
minority investors, paying taxes, engaging in international trade, enforcing
contracts, and resolving insolvency. Doing Business also collects and pub-
lishes data on regulation of employment as well as contracting with the
government (figure O.1). The employing workers indicator set measures
regulation in the areas of hiring, working hours, and redundancy. The
contracting with the government indicators capture the time and proce-
dures involved in a standardized public procurement for road resurfacing.
These two indicator sets do not constitute part of the ease of doing business
ranking.
Research demonstrates a causal relationship between economic freedom
and gross domestic product (GDP) growth, where freedom regarding wages
and prices, property rights, and licensing requirements leads to economic
development.2 Of the 190 economies measured by Doing Business 2020, land
registries in 146 lack full geographic coverage of privately owned land. All
privately held land plots are formally registered in only 3% of low-income
economies. Overall, on the registering property indicator set, 92 economies
receive a score of zero on the geographic coverage of privately owned land
index, 12 on the transparency of information index, and 31 on the reliabil-
ity of infrastructure index. Globally, property registration processes remain
most inefficient in the South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa regions.
Doing Business 2020 shows that effectiveness of trading across borders
also varies significantly from economy to economy. Economies that

predominantly trade through seaports incur average export border com-


pliance costs as high as $2,223 per shipment in the Democratic Republic
of Congo and $1,633 in Gabon compared to only $354 in Benin and $303
in Mauritius. Similarly, documentary compliance costs surge to $1,800
in Iraq, $725 in the Syrian Arab Republic, and $550 in The Bahamas. It
is important to note, however, that high costs in Iraq and Syria are also
attributed to fragile political, social, and economic conditions. Export
border compliance times for maritime transport range from 10 hours in
Singapore to over 200 hours in Cameroon and Côte d’Ivoire. According
to Doing Business 2020 data, ports are most efficient in Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) high-income econo-
mies and least efficient in Sub-Saharan Africa. Substantial further reform
efforts are warranted to spread efficiency to economies where businesses
still struggle to trade.

Business regulation: Benchmarking


Doing Business benchmarks aspects of business regulation and practice using
specific case studies with standardized assumptions. The strength of the
business environment is scored on the basis of an economy’s performance
in each of the 10 areas included in the ease of doing business ranking
(table O.1). This approach facilitates the comparison of regulation across
economies. The ease of doing business score serves as the basis for ranking
economies on their business environment: the ranking is obtained by sort-
ing the economies by their scores. The ease of doing business score shows
an economy’s absolute position relative to the best regulatory performance,
whereas the ease of doing business ranking is an indication of an economy’s
position relative to that of other economies.
Doing Business 2020 acknowledges 22 reforms in the 20 top-ranking
economies. Since 2003/04, the 20 best-performing economies have car-
ried out a total of 464 regulatory changes, suggesting that even the gold

included in the aggregate ranking. For the economies for which the data cover two cities, scores are a population-weighted average for the two cities.
Rankings are calculated on the basis of the unrounded scores, while scores with only one digit are displayed in the table.

standard setters have room to improve their business climates. More than
half of the economies in the top-20 cohort are from the OECD high-in-
come group; however, the top-20 list also includes four economies from
East Asia and the Pacific, two from Europe and Central Asia, as well as
one from the Middle East and North Africa and one from Sub-Saharan
Africa. Conversely, most economies (12) in the bottom 20 are from the
Sub-Saharan Africa region.
Encouragingly, several of the lowest-ranked economies are actively
reforming in pursuit of a better business environment. Over the past year,
Myanmar introduced substantial improvements in five areas measured
by Doing Business—starting a business, dealing with construction permits,
registering property, protecting minority investors, and enforcing con-
tracts. This ambitious reform program allowed the country to rise out of
the ­bottom 20 to a ranking of 165. In contrast to the economies ranked
in the top 20, however, the bottom 20 implemented only 10 reforms in
2018/19.
Economies that score highest on the ease of doing business share several
common features, including the widespread use of electronic systems. All
of the 20 top-ranking economies have online business incorporation pro-
cesses, have electronic tax filing platforms, and allow online procedures
related to property transfers. Moreover, 11 economies have electronic
procedures for construction permitting. In general, the 20 top performers
have sound business regulation with a high degree of transparency. The
average scores of these economies are 12.2 (out of 15) on the building
quality control index, 7.2 (out of 8) on the reliability of supply and trans-
parency of tariffs index, 24.8 (out of 30) on the quality of land admin-
istration index, and 13.2 (out of 18) on the quality of judicial processes
index. Fourteen of the 20 top performers have a unified collateral registry,
and 14 allow a viable business to continue operating as a going concern
during insolvency proceedings.
The difference in an entrepreneur’s experience in top- and bottom-­
performing economies is discernible in almost all Doing Business topics.
For example, it takes nearly six times longer on average to start a busi-
ness in the economies ranked in the bottom 50 than it does in the top
20. Transferring property in the 20 top economies requires less than two
weeks, compared to about three months in the bottom 50. Obtaining
an electricity connection in an average bottom-50 economy takes twice
the time that it takes in an average top-20 economy; the cost of such
a connection is 44 times higher when expressed as a share of income
per capita. Also, commercial dispute resolution lasts about 2.1 years in
economies ranking in the bottom 50 compared to 1.1 years in the top
20. Notable differences between stronger and weaker performing econ-
omies are also evident in the quality of regulation and information. In
the top 20, 83% of the adult population on average is covered by either
a credit bureau or registry, whereas in the bottom 50 the average cover-
age is only at 10%.
6 DOING BUSINESS 2020

What do Doing Business 2020 data show?


When low-income economies achieve higher levels of economic ­efficiency,
they tend to reduce the income gap with more developed ones. One study
quantifies the relationship between the regulation of entry and the income
gap between developing countries and the United States. It shows that sub-
stantial barriers to entry in developing economies account for almost half
of the income gap with the United States.3 These barriers prevent growth
and result in persistent poverty. Encouragingly, Doing Business 2020 con-
tinues to show a steady convergence between developing and developed
economies, especially in the area of business incorporation (figure O.2).
Since 2003/04, 178 economies have implemented 722 reforms captured
by the starting a business indicator set, either reducing or eliminating
barriers to entry. In all, 106 economies eliminated or reduced minimum
capital requirements, about 80 introduced or improved one-stop shops,
and more than 160 simplified preregistration and registration formalities.
More remains to be done, however.
Despite this convergence, Doing Business 2020 data suggest that a con-
siderable disparity persists between low- and high-income economies on
the ease of starting a business. An entrepreneur in a low-income economy
typically spends about 50.0% of income per capita to launch a company,
compared to just 4.2% for an entrepreneur in a high-income economy.

Moreover, the convergence trend does not hold for minimum capital
requirements. About one-third of low- and lower-middle-income econo-
mies require businesses to set aside a certain amount of minimum capital in
addition to regular company incorporation costs. Similarly, the minimum
capital requirement is prevalent in one-third of high-income economies.4
Ample room still exists for closing the gap between developed and devel-
oping economies on most of the Doing Business indicators. Performance on
the strength of legal rights index, captured by the getting credit indicator
set, is weakest among low- and middle-income economies. Credit registries
and bureaus in developing economies also tend to collect less comprehen-
sive information with comparatively low coverage, thereby limiting busi-
nesses’ access to credit. The average credit registry coverage of the adult
population in low-income economies is less than 3%, compared to over
22% in high-income ones. Similarly, the average time to meet tax filing
obligations is significantly higher in low-income economies (275 hours)
than in high-income ones (149 hours). The regions with the most cumber-
some tax compliance processes remain Latin America and the Caribbean
and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Economies that score well in Doing Business benefit from higher levels of
entrepreneurial activity (figure O.3). Increased entrepreneurship generates
better employment opportunities, higher government tax revenues, and
improved personal incomes.

Although Doing Business does not capture corruption and bribery directly,
inefficient regulation tends to go hand in hand with rent-seeking. There
are ample opportunities for corruption in economies where excessive red
tape and extensive interactions between private sector actors and regu-
latory agencies are necessary to get things done. The 20 worst-scoring
economies on Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index
average 8 procedures to start a business and 15 to obtain a building per-
mit.5 Conversely, the 20 best-performing economies complete the same for-
malities with 4 and 11 steps, respectively. Moreover, economies that have
adopted electronic means of compliance with regulatory requirements—
such as obtaining licenses and paying taxes—experience a lower incidence
of bribery.

Reforming for economic advancement


Doing Business acknowledges the 10 economies that improved the most on
the ease of doing business after implementing regulatory reforms.6 In Doing
Business 2020, the 10 top improvers are Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Togo, Bahrain,
Tajikistan, Pakistan, Kuwait, China, India, and Nigeria (table O.2). These
economies implemented a total of 59 regulatory reforms in 2018/19—
accounting for one-fifth of all the reforms recorded worldwide. Their efforts
focused primarily on the areas of starting a business, dealing with construc-
tion permits, and trading across borders.

Overview: Tackling burdensome regulation 9

Jordan and Kuwait are new additions to the list of 10 most improved
economies. Nigeria appears as one of the top-10 improvers for the second
time. India, which has conducted a remarkable reform effort, joins the list
for the third year in a row. Previously, only Burundi, Colombia, the Arab
Republic of Egypt, and Georgia featured on the list of 10 top improvers for
three consecutive Doing Business cycles. Given the size of India’s economy,
these reform efforts are particularly commendable.
Bahrain implemented the highest number of regulatory reforms (nine),
improving in almost every area measured by Doing Business.7 China and
Saudi Arabia follow Bahrain with eight reforms each.
One may wonder what underlying factors drive economies to reform.
The drivers can be either political or economic or both. The economic
advancement of neighboring countries is also an important motivational
factor. Research on the effects of market-liberalizing reforms in 144 econ-
omies over the period 1995–2006 finds that the most important factor in
transmitting reforms between countries is their geographical and cultural
proximity. The spillover effect is magnified when more countries adopt
reforms that boost economic development. Furthermore, mass media cov-
erage affects political decisions. A recent study finds that economies with
higher media coverage of Doing Business tend to carry out more business
regulatory reforms, with one- and two-year lags between media coverage
and reform implementation.8
Business regulatory reforms across the Gulf economies have been on
a steady rise. These changes are motivated in part by the urgent need
for economic diversification. Successful reforms in neighboring states,
such as the United Arab Emirates, have also served as inspiration. Saudi
Arabia is the most improved economy in Doing Business 2020, with a total
of eight reforms. With a reformist mindset, the crown prince has imple-
mented and promoted a policy of featuring the Kingdom as an open
world-class investment destination. The Kingdom’s “Vision 2030” plan
for long-term development encompasses a variety of legal and structural
reforms.
Pakistan, another top improver, developed an ambitious reform strategy,
setting up a national secretariat as well as a prime minister’s reform steering
committee to ensure progress. Most of the programmed reforms evolved
around the Doing Business indicators. Doing Business working groups have
been set up at both municipal and provincial levels.
The motivation for reform in Nigeria, Tajikistan, and Togo was in
part the developmental achievements of their neighbors. Rwanda’s
progress over the past 10 years inspired authorities in Togo, leading
several Togolese delegations to visit Kigali to learn about successful
reforms. Togo’s president set a goal to be number one in West Africa in
Doing Business 2020. To achieve this target, Togo made significant reform
efforts in the areas of starting a business, registering property, and
getting credit. Similarly, after observing an economic transformation
in neighboring Uzbekistan, Tajikistan’s president took a special inter-
est in improving the country’s ranking on the ease of doing business.
10 DOING BUSINESS 2020

Nigeria has embarked on a comprehensive reform journey following


the example of Kenya.
As in other economies on the list of 10 top improvers, leaders of India
and China adopted the Doing Business indicators as a core component of
their reform strategies. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Make in India”
campaign focused on attracting foreign investment, boosting the pri-
vate sector—manufacturing in particular—and enhancing the country’s
overall competitiveness. The government turned to the Doing Business
indicators to show investors India’s commitment to reform and to
demonstrate tangible progress. In 2015 the government’s goal was to
join the 50 top economies on the ease of doing business ranking by
2020. The administration’s reform efforts targeted all of the areas mea-
sured by Doing Business, with a focus on paying taxes, trading across
borders, and resolving insolvency. The country has made a substantial
leap upward, raising its ease of doing business ranking from 130 in Doing
Business 2016 to 63 in Doing Business 2020.
In recent years China has shown eagerness to reform in the areas
captured by Doing Business. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang’s March 2018
“Report on the Work of the Government” set the stage for municipal
governments to implement a reform agenda. The use of Doing Business as
a benchmark aligns with the central government’s ambition to improve
the competitiveness of the Chinese economy. The Chinese government
also created working groups targeting each of the Doing Business indica-
tors. To date, China has shown a notable improvement in the areas of
dealing with construction permits (figure O.4), getting electricity, and
resolving insolvency.

Overview: Tackling burdensome regulation 11

What have economies achieved, and who


falls behind?
In 2018/19, 115 economies implemented 294 business regulatory reforms
across the 10 areas measured by Doing Business. Most of these reforms
addressed aspects of starting a business, dealing with construction permits,
getting electricity, and paying taxes; the least reformed area was resolv-
ing insolvency. The most common reform features included advancing
the functionality of credit bureaus and registries, developing or enhancing
online platforms to comply with regulatory requirements, improving the
reliability of power supply, reducing certain taxes, strengthening minority
investor protections, streamlining property registration processes, and
automating international trade logistics. Low-income economies accounted
for 11% of all the regulatory changes, with Togo implementing the highest
number of reforms (five).
In Sub-Saharan Africa, Togo represents a bright spot. Sub-Saharan Africa
remains one of the weak-performing regions on the ease of doing business
with an average score of 51.8, well below the OECD high-income economy
average of 78.4 and the global average of 63.0. Compared to the previous year,
Sub-Saharan African economies raised their average ease of doing business
score by just 1 percentage point in Doing Business 2020, whereas economies
in the Middle East and North Africa region raised their average score by 1.9.
Latin America and the Caribbean also lags in terms of reform implemen-
tation and impact. No economies from this region appeared in the 10 top
improvers list over the past two years. Moreover, not a single economy in
Latin America and the Caribbean ranks among the top 50 on the ease of
doing business. The regional leader on the ease of doing business score,
Mexico, is still almost 12 percentage points below the average score of the
10 top-ranking economies.
Globally reforms in the areas of dealing with construction permits and
getting electricity have risen sharply in recent years, peaking in 2018/19 at
37 and 34, respectively. Twenty-one of the 37 economies reforming aspects
of dealing with construction permits simplified the permitting processes by
streamlining interactions with agencies for preapprovals and inspections.
Another 16 reformed their building quality control systems. In addition,
12 economies either set up or improved online platforms for processing
building permits, and 3 economies launched one-stop shops.
In the area of getting electricity, several Caribbean countries, including
Barbados and Belize, invested in training utility personnel and capacity
building. In West Africa, Ghana and Nigeria reduced electricity connection
times. Sixteen economies made substantial investments in modernizing
electric ­infrastructure through the installation of substations and remote-­
control systems; others improved distribution network maintenance.
Mainly owing to targeted improvements in electricity supply, the aver-
age global duration of power cuts fell by 8.3% between 2017 and 2018.
Although blackouts remain relatively frequent in Sub-Saharan Africa,
12 DOING BUSINESS 2020

utilities in this region made substantial progress in providing a better power


supply to their customers.
In 2018/19, 24 economies increased the efficiency of property trans-
fers and improved the quality of land administration. The most common
features of property registration reform included greater transparency of
information, better reliability of infrastructure, and reduced taxes and fees.
Across regions, economies in the Middle East and North Africa improved
the most. Qatar created a one-stop shop, eliminating five procedures and
lowering property transfer time by 11 days. In Latin America and the
Caribbean, Jamaica reduced the cost of property registration by almost 7%
of the property value. Brazil and Ecuador introduced electronic property
transfer systems.
Thirty economies pursued reforms facilitating firms’ access to credit.
Five reformers either created unified and functional systems for secured
­transactions or expanded the scope of movable assets that can be used as
collateral. Djibouti, Jordan, and Tajikistan launched geographically central-
ized, unified, and notice-based collateral registries in 2018/19. Moreover,
Jordan, Kenya, and Tajikistan introduced online features to their existing
registries. Twenty-three economies implemented reforms improving credit
information systems. One of the most common features of reform was
the expansion of coverage of individuals and firms in credit registries or
bureaus. Six developing countries carried out this type of reform. Niger,
Senegal, and Togo, for example, passed laws allowing the credit bureau,
Creditinfo VoLo, to collect broader historical data. With more credit data
and data from alternative sources, these three economies were able to boost
coverage rates.
For the ninth year in a row, the most common feature of reforms in paying
taxes is the implementation or enhancement of electronic filing and payment
systems. Seventeen economies carried out such reforms in calendar year
2018. In terms of digitization, the most notable progress since Doing Business
2006 has been achieved in Europe and Central Asia. Today taxes can be filed
electronically in 22 economies in this region, compared to only 4 in 2004.
Economies across all regions reformed aspects of international trade
logistics in 2018/19, with 25 making it easier to move goods across borders.
More than 40% of the reforms captured by the trading across borders indi-
cators were in low- and lower-middle-income economies. Overall, South
Asia was the region with the highest share of economies implementing
trade reforms in Doing Business 2020. Trade reforms demonstrate the impor-
tance of cross-border cooperation in ensuring easy customs clearance pro-
cedures, harmonization of compliance rules, and border control efficiency.
Nepal, for example, decreased the time to export and import by opening a
new joint border crossing point with India.
In the area of contract enforcement, eight economies provided more
straightforward options—outside of ordinary courts or procedures—for
resolving legal disputes. Mauritania and Moldova, for example, imple-
mented fast-track procedures as an effective way to resolve small-value
disputes. Three economies in Latin America and the Caribbean adopted
Overview: Tackling burdensome regulation 13

techniques intended to ensure a timely and organized flow of cases through


the court system. Jamaica started publishing court performance reports,
Costa Rica introduced a pretrial conference, and Paraguay implemented an
electronic case management system.
Thirteen economies implemented reforms making it easier to resolve
insolvency. A characteristic feature of these reforms was the introduction of a
reorganization procedure. Keeping viable businesses afloat is one of the most
important objectives of bankruptcy systems. The highest recovery rates are
recorded in economies where reorganization is the most c­ ommon ­insolvency
proceeding for viable businesses in financial distress. Bahrain, Jordan, and
Saudi Arabia all introduced reorganization proceedings, completely over-
hauling their previous insolvency frameworks.
Eleven economies made changes to employment regulations. The OECD
high-income group recorded the highest share of reforms, with work
scheduling being the most common feature. Austria increased overtime to
60 hours per week, and Hungary raised its overtime allowance to 400 hours
per calendar year, making employment regulation more business-friendly.
Conversely, the Slovak Republic increased wage premiums for work on
weekly rest days and at night. North Macedonia reduced the length of the
probationary period (to four months from six), introduced priority rules in
the case of both redundancy dismissals and reemployment, and increased
severance payments.

When doing business is not easy


Not all regulatory changes make it easier for entrepreneurs to do business.
In 2018/19, 26 economies introduced 31 reforms that stifled efficiency.
Some changes are a conscious trade-off. Croatia’s credit bureau, for exam-
ple, stopped distributing data on individuals while it gauges the full extent
of the European Union General Data Protection Regulation. In the area
of protecting minority investors, Belarus extended the deadline for com-
panies to inform the market of related-party transactions. This change
makes it easier for firms to comply with regulation but increases informa-
tion asymmetry, which could be harmful to investors. Political changes
also play a role. In Sudan, the new majority in the National Assembly did
not endorse temporary amendments to the Companies Act. As a result,
a lapse in the provisions adversely affected Sudan’s performance on the
indicators for getting credit, protecting minority investors, and resolving
insolvency.
Increased regulatory costs faced by the private sector serve as another
foundation for changes making it more difficult to do business, as evident
in 16 of the 31 cases. Increasing the cost to do business can be counter-
productive. Studies show that higher business start-up costs adversely
affect the number of new market entrants.9 Firms that never incorporate
because of prohibitive expenses represent a compounding net loss of public
revenue. In other cases, the administrative costs associated with enacting
14 DOING BUSINESS 2020

comparatively minor fee increases may not even be covered by slightly


increased revenues. For example, Cambodia increased costs associated with
registration with the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training. Mexico
(Mexico City) increased the fees for obtaining a building permit. The
Bahamas increased the stamp duty for property transfers while Nepal hiked
up the registration fee to transfer properties.
Insufficient reform follow-through, as in several economies, is another
reason for a deterioration in the business climate. Morocco, for instance,
stopped publishing statistics on the number of property transactions and
land disputes. And Belarus weakened minority investor protections by no
longer requiring immediate public disclosure of related-party transactions.
Some reforms are relatively easy to initiate; however, without proper
upkeep, their benefits can fail to materialize.
Finally, design and implementation issues undermine reform efforts.
Changing the agency in charge of property registration in Kazakhstan
had the potential to improve service delivery. Because the new entity was
not authorized to collect state duties, however, users had to make some
payments at a different location. Mali made paying taxes more difficult by
introducing a new tax—the solidarity contribution—which is an additional
cost on businesses imposed on turnover. Barbados rendered property trans-
fers less efficient by increasing the time to record the conveyance at the
Land Registry as well as pay transfer fees and stamp duties.

What is new in this year’s study?


Doing Business 2020 features three case studies—on business regulatory
reforms across four indicator sets (starting a business, getting credit, pay-
ing taxes, and resolving insolvency), on contracting with the government,
and on employing workers. The case study on reforms analyzes prominent
regulatory changes implemented by governments since the inception of
Doing Business. Among the most common regulatory changes over the past
17 years are simplifying the requirements to start a company, easing tax
compliance burdens, increasing access to credit, and ensuring the survival
of viable businesses. The case study also discusses the effects of regulatory
changes on various dimensions of economic development and investment
activity.
The contracting with the government case study measures the efficiency
of public procurement. The case study describes a standardized scenario
benchmarked by the indicator set and outlines a preliminary description of
the methodology. Worldwide, public procurement accounts for 10–25% of
GDP on average, and cumulatively governments spend $10 trillion on pub-
lic contracts every year. The efficiency of the process varies considerably,
however; currently, there are no global data to benchmark such practices.
The contracting with the government database constitutes a repository of
comparable data on how procurement processes are carried out. This indi-
cator set, which has been under development for the past three years, will
be included in the ease of doing business score in Doing Business 2021.
Overview: Tackling burdensome regulation 15

The case study on employing workers highlights the positive effects of


flexible employment regulation for firms, which in turn affects job creation
and productivity growth. It analyzes the advantages of operating under a
less rigid hiring framework that, for example, permits fixed-term contracts.
In light of the changing dynamics of work, the case study further examines
the benefits of flexible rules on working hours. It shows that restrictions
on dismissal due to redundancy hurt firms as well as youth employment.
Doing Business 2020 also includes a literature review chapter on relevant
research articles published in top-ranking economic journals since 2013.

income per capita and the lending rate is excluded). The improvement in
their score is calculated not by using the data published in 2018 but by using
comparable data that capture data revisions and methodology changes when
applicable. The choice of the most improved economies is determined by the
largest improvements in the ease of doing business score among those with
at least three reforms. The order of economies is based on the difference of

CHAPTER 1
About Doing Business
Doing Business measures aspects of business regulation
affecting small domestic firms located in the largest
business city of 190 economies. In addition, for
11 economies a second city is covered.

Doing Business covers 12 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 regulation on employing workers and
contracting with the government, which are not included in
the ease of doing business score and ranking.

More than 48,000 professionals in 190 economies have


assisted in providing the data that inform the Doing
Business indicators.

17
18 DOING BUSINESS 2020

D
oing Business is founded on the principle that economic activity ben-
efits from clear rules: rules that allow voluntary exchanges between
economic actors, set out strong property rights, facilitate the resolu-
tion of commercial disputes, and provide contractual partners with protec-
tions against arbitrariness and abuse. Such rules are much more effective in
promoting growth and development when they are efficient, transparent,
and accessible to those for whom they are intended.
Rules create an environment where new entrants with drive and inno-
vative ideas can get started in business and where productive firms can
invest, expand, and create new jobs. The role of government policy in
the daily operations of small and medium-size domestic firms is a central
focus of the Doing Business data. The objective is to encourage regulation
that is efficient, transparent, and easy to implement so that businesses can
thrive. Doing Business data focus on 12 areas of regulation affecting small
and medium-size domestic firms in the largest business city of an economy.
The project uses standardized case studies to provide objective, quantitative
measures that can be compared across 190 economies.

What Doing Business measures


Doing Business captures several important dimensions of the regulatory
environment affecting domestic firms. It provides quantitative indicators on
regulation for starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting
electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority inves-
tors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving
insolvency (table 1.1). Doing Business also measures aspects of employing
workers and contracting with the government (public ­procurement), which
are not included in the ranking.

How the indicators are selected


The design of the Doing Business indicators has been informed by theoretical
insights gleaned from extensive research.1 In addition, background papers
developing the methodology for most of the Doing Business indicator sets
have established the importance of the rules and regulations that Doing
Business measures for economic outcomes such as trade volumes, foreign
direct investment, market capitalization in stock exchanges, and private
credit as a percentage of GDP.2
Some Doing Business indicators give a higher score for more regulation and
better-functioning institutions (such as courts or credit bureaus). Higher
scores are given for stricter disclosure requirements for related-party trans-
actions, for example, in the area of protecting minority investors. Higher
scores are also given for a simplified way of applying regulation that keeps
compliance costs for firms low—such as by easing the burden of business
start-up formalities with a one-stop shop or through a single online portal.
Finally, the scores reward economies that apply a risk-based approach to
regulation as a way to address social and environmental concerns—such

as by placing a greater regulatory burden on activities that pose a high risk


to the population and a lesser one on lower-risk activities. Thus, the econ-
omies that rank highest on the ease of doing business are not those where
there is no regulation, but those where governments have managed to cre-
ate rules that facilitate interactions in the marketplace without needlessly
hindering the development of the private sector.
Doing Business 2020 does not introduce any new metrics. The assumptions
of the protecting minority investors indicator set, however, refocused on
corporate governance for listed companies so that, if an economy does not
have an active stock exchange with at least 10 listings that are not state-
owned, no points are given under the extent of shareholder governance
index. Economies are assessed on the same practices as before.

The ease of doing business score and ease of doing business ranking
To provide different perspectives on the data, Doing Business presents data
both for individual indicators and for two aggregate measures: the ease of
doing business score and the ease of doing business ranking. The ease of
doing business score aids in assessing the absolute level of regulatory per-
formance and how it improves over time. The individual indicator scores
show the distance of each economy from the best regulatory performance
observed in each of the indicators across all economies in the Doing Business
sample since 2005 or the third year in which data were collected for the
indicator. The best regulatory performance is set at the highest possible
value for indicators calculated as scores, such as the strength of legal rights
20 DOING BUSINESS 2020

index or the quality of land administration index. This approach under-


scores the gap between a particular economy’s performance and the best
regulatory performance at any time and is used to assess the absolute
change in the economy’s regulatory environment over time as measured by
Doing Business (see chapter 7 on the ease of doing business score and ease of
doing business ranking). The ranking on the ease of doing business comple-
ments the ease of doing business score by providing information about an
economy’s performance in business regulation relative to the performance
of other economies as measured by Doing Business.
Doing Business uses a simple averaging approach for weighting compo-
nent indicators, calculating rankings, and determining the ease of doing
business score.3 Each topic covered by Doing Business relates to a different
aspect of the business regulatory environment. The scores and rankings
of each economy vary considerably across topics, indicating that a strong
performance by an economy in one area of regulation can coexist with
weak performance in another (figure 1.1). One way to assess the variability
of an economy’s regulatory performance is to look at its scores across topics.
Panama, for example, has an overall ease of doing business score of 66.6,
meaning that it is about two-thirds of the way up the range from the worst
to the best performance. It scores highly at 92.0 on starting a business,

85.5 on trading across borders, and 83.5 on getting electricity. At the same
time, it has a score of 49.0 for enforcing contracts, 46.7 for paying taxes,
and 39.5 for resolving insolvency.

Advantages and limitations of the methodology


The Doing Business methodology is designed to be an easily replicable way
to benchmark specific characteristics of business regulation—how they are
implemented by governments and experienced by private firms on the
ground. Its advantages and limitations should be understood when using
the data.
Ensuring comparability of the data across a global set of economies is
a central consideration for the Doing Business indicators, which are devel-
oped using standardized case scenarios with specific assumptions. One
such assumption is the location of a standardized business—the subject
of the Doing Business case study—in the largest business city of the econ-
omy. The reality is that business regulations and their enforcement may
differ within a country, particularly in federal states and large economies.
Gathering data for every relevant jurisdiction in each of the 190 economies
covered by Doing Business is infeasible. Nevertheless, where policy makers
are interested in generating data at the local level, beyond the largest busi-
ness city, and learning from local good practices, Doing Business has comple-
mented its global indicators with subnational studies. Also, starting with
Doing Business 2015, coverage was extended to the second-largest city in
economies with a population of more than 100 million (as of 2013).
Doing Business recognizes the limitations of the standardized case scenar-
ios and assumptions. Although such assumptions come at the expense of
generality, they also ensure the comparability of data. Some Doing Business
topics are complex, so it is important that the standardized cases are defined
carefully. For example, the standardized case scenario usually involves a
limited liability company or its legal equivalent. There are two reasons
for this assumption. First, private limited liability companies are the most
prevalent business form (for firms with more than one owner) in many
economies around the world. Second, this choice reflects the focus of Doing
Business on expanding opportunities for entrepreneurship: investors are
encouraged to venture into business when potential losses are limited to
their capital participation.
Another assumption underlying the Doing Business indicators is that
entrepreneurs have knowledge of and comply with applicable regula-
tions. In practice, entrepreneurs may not be aware of what needs to be
done or how to comply with regulations and may lose considerable time
trying to find out. Alternatively, they may intentionally avoid compli-
ance—by not registering for social security, for example. Firms may opt
for bribery and other informal arrangements intended to bypass the rules
where regulation is particularly onerous. Levels of informality tend to be

21
22 DOING BUSINESS 2020

higher in economies with especially burdensome regulation. Compared


with their formal sector counterparts, firms in the informal sector typi-
cally grow more slowly, have poorer access to credit, and employ fewer
workers—and these workers remain outside the protections of labor law
and, more generally, other legal protections embedded in the law.4 Firms
in the informal sector are also less likely to pay taxes. Doing Business mea-
sures one set of factors that help explain the occurrence of informality,
and it provides policy makers with insights into potential areas of regu-
latory reform.
Many important policy areas are not covered by Doing Business; even
within the areas it measures, the scope is narrow. Doing Business does not
measure the full range of factors, policies, and institutions that affect the
quality of an economy’s business environment or its national competitive-
ness. It does not, for example, capture aspects of macroeconomic stability,
development of the financial system, market size, the incidence of bribery
and corruption, or the quality of the labor force.

Data collection in practice


The Doing Business data are based on a detailed reading of domestic laws,
regulations, and administrative requirements as well as their implementa-
tion in practice as experienced by private professionals. The study covers
190 economies—including some of the smallest and poorest economies,
for which other sources provide little or no data. The data are collected
through several rounds of communication with expert respondents (both
private sector practitioners and government officials), through responses to
questionnaires, conference calls, written correspondence, and visits by the
team. Doing Business relies on four main sources of information: the relevant
laws and regulations, Doing Business respondents, the governments of the
economies covered, and the World Bank Group regional staff (figure 1.2).
For a detailed explanation of the Doing Business methodology, see the data
notes at www.doingbusiness.org.

Relevant laws and regulations


The Doing Business indicators are based mostly on laws and regulations:
approximately two-thirds of the data embedded in the Doing Business indi-
cators are based on a reading of the law. In addition to filling out ques-
tionnaires, Doing Business respondents submit references to the relevant
laws, regulations, and fee schedules. The Doing Business team collects the
texts of the relevant laws and regulations and checks the questionnaire
responses for accuracy. The team examines the civil procedure code, for
example, to check the maximum number of adjournments in a commercial
court dispute, and reads the insolvency code to identify if the debtor can
initiate liquidation or reorganization proceedings. Because the data collec-
tion process involves an annual update of an established database, having
a very large sample of respondents is not strictly necessary. In principle,

the role of the contributors is largely advisory—helping the Doing Business


team to locate and understand the laws and regulations. There are quickly
diminishing returns to an expanded pool of contributors. This notwith-
standing, the number of contributors rose by 80% between 2010 and 2019.
Extensive consultations with multiple contributors are conducted by
the team to minimize measurement errors for the rest of the data. For
some indicators—for example, those on dealing with construction permits,
enforcing contracts, and resolving insolvency—the time component and
part of the cost component (where fee schedules are lacking) are based on
actual practice rather than the law on the books. This approach introduces
a degree of judgment by respondents on what actual practice looks like.
When respondents disagree, the time indicators reported by Doing Business
represent the median values of several responses given under the assump-
tions of the standardized case.

Doing Business respondents


More than 48,000 professionals in 190 economies have assisted in providing
the data that inform the Doing Business indicators over the past 17 years.5
Doing Business 2020 draws on the inputs of more than 15,000 professionals.6
The Doing Business website shows the number of respondents for each econ-
omy and each indicator set.
Selected on the basis of their expertise in these areas, respondents
are professionals who routinely administer or advise on the legal and
regulatory requirements in the specific areas covered by Doing Business.
Because of the focus on legal and regulatory arrangements, most of the
respondents are legal professionals such as lawyers, judges, or notaries.
24 DOING BUSINESS 2020

In addition, officials of the credit bureau or registry complete the credit


information questionnaire. Accountants, architects, engineers, freight
forwarders, and other professionals answer the questionnaires related to
paying taxes, dealing with construction permits, trading across borders,
and getting electricity. Certain public officials (such as registrars from the
company or property registry) also provide information that is incorpo-
rated into the indicators.
The Doing Business approach is to work with legal practitioners or other
professionals who regularly undertake the transactions involved. Following
the standard methodological approach for time-and-motion studies,
Doing Business breaks down each process or transaction, such as starting
a business or registering a property into separate steps to ensure a better
estimate of time. The time estimate for each step is given by practitioners
who have significant and routine experience in the transaction.

Governments and World Bank Group regional staff


After receiving the completed questionnaires from the Doing Business
respondents, verifying the information against the law, and conducting
follow-up inquiries to ensure that all relevant information is captured, the
Doing Business team sends the regulatory reform descriptions to the World
Bank Group’s Board of Executive Directors and World Bank Group Country
Management Units in different regions, which then inform the respective
governments about the reforms identified in their economies. Through this
process, government authorities and World Bank Group staff working on
the economies covered by Doing Business can alert the Doing Business team
about, for example, regulatory reforms not reported by the respondents
or additional achievements of regulatory reforms. In addition, the team
responds formally to the comments of governments or regional staff and
provides explanations of the scoring decisions.

Data adjustments
Information on data corrections is provided in the data notes available at
the Doing Business website. A transparent complaint procedure allows any-
one to challenge the data. From November 2018 to October 2019, the team
received and responded to 150 queries on the data.

Uses of the Doing Business data


Doing Business was designed with two main types of users in mind: policy
makers and researchers. It is a tool that governments can use to design
sound business regulatory policies. Nevertheless, the Doing Business data are
limited in scope and should be complemented with other sources of infor-
mation. Doing Business focuses on a few specific rules relevant to the case
studies analyzed. These rules and case studies are chosen to be illustrative
of the business regulatory environment, but they do not constitute a com-
prehensive description of that environment. By providing a unique dataset
that enables analysis aimed at better understanding the role of business
About Doing Business 25

regulation in economic development, Doing Business is also an important


source of information for researchers.

Governments and policy makers


Doing Business offers policy makers a benchmarking tool useful in stimulat-
ing policy debate, both by exposing potential challenges and by identifying
good practices and lessons learned. Despite the narrow focus of the indica-
tors, the initial debate in an economy on the results they highlight typically
turns into a deeper discussion on areas where business regulatory reform
is needed, including areas well beyond those measured by Doing Business.
In economies where subnational studies are conducted, the Doing Business
indicators go one step further in offering policy makers a tool to identify
good practices that can be adopted within their economies.
The Doing Business indicators are “actionable.” For example, governments
set the minimum capital requirement for new firms, invest in company and
property registries to increase their efficiency, or improve the efficiency of tax
administration by adopting the latest technology to facilitate the preparation,
filing, and payment of taxes by the business community. Governments also
undertake court reforms to shorten delays in the enforcement of contracts.
Some Doing Business indicators, however, capture procedures, time, and costs
that involve private sector participants, such as lawyers, notaries, architects,
electricians, or freight forwarders. Governments have little influence in the
short run over the fees these professions charge, though much can be achieved
by strengthening professional licensing regimes and preventing anticompeti-
tive behavior. In addition, governments have no control over the geographic
location of their economy, a factor that can adversely affect businesses.
Over the past decade governments have increasingly turned to Doing
Business as a repository of actionable, objective data providing unique
insights into good practices worldwide as they have come to understand
the importance of business regulation as a driving force of competitiveness.
To ensure the coordination of efforts across agencies, economies such as
Colombia, Kuwait, and Malaysia have formed regulatory reform commit-
tees. These committees use the Doing Business indicators as one input to
inform their programs for improving the business environment. More than
70 other economies have also formed such committees. Governments have
reported more than 3,800 regulatory reforms, 1,316 of which have been
informed by Doing Business since 2003.7
Many economies share knowledge on the regulatory reform process
related to the areas measured by Doing Business. Among the most com-
mon venues for this knowledge sharing are peer-to-peer learning events—­
workshops where officials from different governments across a region or
even across the globe meet to discuss the challenges of regulatory reform
and to share their experiences.

Researchers
Doing Business data are widely used by researchers in academia, think tanks,
international organizations, and other institutions. Since 2003, thou-
sands of empirical articles have used Doing Business data or its conceptual
26 DOING BUSINESS 2020

framework to analyze the impact of business regulation on various eco-


nomic outcomes.8 Doing Business 2020 presents a literature review of recent
research on the effects of business regulation in chapter 2. That chapter is an
update to a similar exercise conducted in Doing Business 2014 and focuses on
research published in the top 100 academic journals in economics between
2013 and 2019.9

What is next?
Doing Business 2021 will include the contracting with the government
indicator set in the calculation of the ease of doing business ranking.
The contracting with the government indicator set measures the pro-
cedures and time to win a public procurement contract according to a
­standardized case study focused on the infrastructure sector (see chapter
5 on contracting with the government). It also assesses the compliance
of regulation with internationally recognized good practice. The data
benchmark the efficiency of the public procurement life cycle in the
190 economies measured by Doing Business. As in the case of the other
topics included in Doing Business, the data identify sources of delay and
waste of resources.
Also, as part of a five-year cycle established in Doing Business 2015, Doing
Business 2021 will update the metrics of the best and worst regulatory
performance used in the calculation of the scores for the various Doing
Business indicator sets as well as the data on gross national income per
capita and the export and import products used as a reference for each
economy in the trading across borders indicator set. This update will allow
the Doing Business data to more accurately reflect the best regulatory prac-
tices achieved by top-performing economies in the last five years—these
practices will set the new standard for other economies to pursue. Doing
Business is also considering expanding the coverage of the study to include
the second-largest business city for economies with a population of more
than 100 million (as of 2019), and the third- and fourth-largest business
cities for economies with a population of more than 300 million.

contribution to the total score, with a weight of 60% assigned to the strength
of legal rights index and 40% to the depth of credit information index. In this
way, each point included in these indexes has the same value independent
of the component it belongs to. Indicators for all other topics are assigned

5. The annual data collection exercise is an update of the database. The
Doing Business team and the contributors examine the extent to which the
regulatory framework has changed in ways relevant for the features captured
by the indicators. The data collection process should therefore be seen as
adding each year to an existing stock of knowledge reflected in the previous
year’s edition, not as creating an entirely new dataset.
6. Although about 15,000 contributors provided data for Doing Business 2020,
many of them completed a questionnaire for more than one Doing Business
indicator set. Indeed, the total number of contributions received for
Doing Business 2020 is more than 18,400, which represents a true measure
of the inputs received. The average number of contributions per indicator
set and economy is more than seven. For more details, see http://www​

3,700 research articles discussing how regulation in the areas measured
by Doing Business influences economic outcomes have been published in
peer-reviewed academic journals; over 1,300 of these are published in the

D
oing Business provides annual cross-country data on how govern-
ments regulate business, enabling research on how regulation affects
development. Thousands of empirical studies have assessed how the
regulatory environment for business affects productivity, growth, employ-
ment, trade, investment, access to finance, and the size of the informal
economy. Since 2003, when Doing Business was first published, numerous
articles discussing how regulation in the areas measured by the study influ-
ences economic outcomes have been published in peer-reviewed academic
journals. Over 10,000 additional working papers have been posted online.1
Doing Business 2014 reviewed research articles—including those published
in top-ranking economics journals between 2008 and 2013 or disseminated
as working papers in 2012/13—that used Doing Business data for analysis
or motivation.2 This chapter updates that review, adding research articles
published between January 2013 and July 2019.

Firm entry
Changes to start-up regulation affect the number and size of firms in the
market. New firm entry results in higher productivity through the realloca-
tion of resources from old to new firms. Fernandes, Ferreira, and Winters
(2018) find that the entry-simplifying reform introduced in Portugal in 2005
boosted sectoral competition. Using employer–employee data for all private
sector firms and workers in the country, they also find that higher com-
petition is associated with better firm performance. Furthermore, greater
market competition is associated with an increase of 6–11% in executive
remuneration. Alfaro and Chari (2014) examine the effects of the “License
Raj” reform in India on firm size distribution and resource reallocation. The
authors find that the number of small firms increased in industries with
easier start-up rules. They also observe an increase in the productivity of
these sectors, suggesting a reduction in resource allocation distortions over
the same period.
Meeting start-up requirements involves additional costs for firms. An
implicit assumption is that firms benefit from start-up registration in the
form of expanded access to credit—legal protection compensates for the
additional costs of becoming formal. Testing this hypothesis using data from
Benin, Benhassine and others (2018) find that start-up registration did not
improve the sales or profits of an average firm. Testing the benefits of eased
start-up regulation in Vietnam, however, Demenet, Razafindrakoto, and
Roubaud (2016) find that the value added of firms increased by 20% on
average.

Property transfer
Private land rights facilitate greater access to credit. Using enterprise data,
Karas, Pyle, and Schoors (2015) evaluate the effect of greater land tenure
security among large urban industrial businesses in the Russian Federation
The effects of business regulation 31

and find that private land rights facilitate access to external financing and
promote investment.
When property rights are not secure, fear of expropriation may drive
entrepreneurs to make suboptimal investment decisions. Goldstein and
others (2018) analyze the benefits of strengthening land property rights
in rural Benin by examining the link between land demarcation and
investment. The authors find that the land tenure security improvements
of demarcation induce a 23–43% shift toward long-term investment on
demarcated land parcels. They also find that improved tenure security leads
households to shift their investment decisions from subsistence to peren-
nial cash crops and that female-headed households are more responsive
than male-headed households to the demarcation reform.

Reliability of electricity
Power outages represent a significant obstacle to doing business in economies
worldwide. An unreliable supply of electricity results in spoiled perishable
goods, damage to sensitive equipment, and productivity losses. Firms adapt
by buying generators and other expensive equipment to protect sensitive
inventory and machinery. Allcott, Collard-Wexler, and O’Connell (2016)
examine the effects of electricity shortages on input choices, revenue, and
productivity in manufacturing plants in India between 1992 and 2010. The
authors find that electrical shortages reduce the average plant’s revenue
by 6–8%, and that producer surplus drops by 10%, of which roughly half
is due to the cost of backup generators. Moyo (2013) investigates the rela-
tionship between power outages and manufacturing productivity in Africa
in 2002–05 and finds a negative relationship between both the number of
hours per day without electricity and the percentage of output lost due to
outages and productivity.
Andersen and Dalgaard (2013) also focus on African businesses in esti-
mating the impact of power outages on economic growth over the period
1995–2007. The authors find that a 1-percentage-point increase in outages
decreases long-run GDP per capita by 3%. Using firm-level data for 14
Sub-Saharan African economies, Cole and others (2018) find that reducing
average outage levels to those of South Africa would increase overall sales
of firms by 85%, and the increase would rise to nearly 120% for firms
without a generator (figure 2.1).

Labor market regulation


Changes in labor market regulation affect unemployment rates and
labor force participation. Labor market regulation also determines firm
productivity.
When set above the market equilibrium salary, minimum wages
raise unemployment in competitive markets. Using data for 2001–09,
Jales (2018) finds that the introduction of a minimum wage in Brazil is

associated with a 39% increase in informal employment. Yamada (2016)


finds that the introduction of a minimum wage in Indonesia resulted in
a reduction in both hours of work and employment. Although noting an
increase in earnings among low- and middle-income households, the
author ­concludes that the welfare gain resulting from raising the minimum
wage is negligible.
Alvarez and Fuentes (2018) find that a minimum wage increase in Chile
under rigid labor market regulation is partially responsible for a slowdown
in manufacturing productivity in the late 1990s. The authors estimate
that a real increase of about 22% in the minimum wage during the period
1998–2000 reduced total factor productivity by 2% in industries with fewer
unskilled workers and 4% in those with more unskilled workers. Bjuggren
(2018) finds that increased labor market flexibility in Sweden is associ-
ated with higher labor productivity. In particular, the author examines
the effects of a 2001 reform of employment protection rules that allowed
firms with fewer than 11 workers to exempt 2 workers from seniority rules
(under which the last person hired is the first to be fired in the case of
redundancy).
Amirapu and Gechter (2019) find that restrictive labor regulation in India
is associated with a 35% increase in firms’ unit labor costs. Kawaguchi and
Murao (2014), using data from high-income economies from 1960 to 2010,
find that the persistence of youth unemployment is positively correlated
The effects of business regulation 33

with labor market rigidity. A study by Acharya, Baghai, and Subramanian


(2013) suggests, however, that limited labor market rigidity in some
high-income economies is positively correlated with firm innovation, pri-
marily because job stability boosts employee innovation.
Changes to labor market regulation are associated with changes in credit
markets. Alimov (2015) analyzes the impact of employment protection
regulation on bank lending in 25 high-income economies and finds that
increases in employment protection lead to greater loan spreads. He also
finds that increases in employment protection result in bank loans that are
significantly smaller and have shorter maturities.

Trade regulation and costs


The Doing Business indicators on trading across borders measure the time
to clear official procedures, including customs controls. A growing body of
literature uses these data. Martincus, Carballo, and Graziano (2015) mea-
sure the effects of customs-related delays on firms’ exports by studying
export transactions data from Uruguay for the period 2002–11, including
the actual time it took for these transactions to clear customs. Their findings
suggest that a 10% increase in customs delays results in a 4% decline in
exports. This effect emanates from higher costs for exporters, which sub-
sequently reduce their foreign sales, as well as for buyers, which appear to
reduce their exposure to firms whose deliveries are subject to such delays.
Similarly, Hornok and Koren (2015) analyze the impact of administrative
per-shipment costs on trade volumes. Employing Spanish shipment-level
export data for the period 2006–12, the authors find that a 50% reduction
in per-shipment costs is equivalent to a 9-percentage-point reduction in
tariffs.

Court efficiency
Judicial reforms targeting the quality, speed, and access of the judiciary
favor improvements in productivity and economic development. Chemin
(2018) finds that these reforms improved firm productivity by 22% in sec-
tors requiring more relationship-specific investments.
Judicial efficiency is essential to firm productivity. Ahsan (2013) uses
firm-level data from India to study the complementarities between the
speed of contract enforcement and tariff liberalization. His findings suggest
that the gains in productivity from a reduction in input tariffs are highest
for firms in economies with the most efficient courts.
Gianfreda and Vallanti (2017) analyze the impact of court delays in set-
tling labor disputes in Italy. The authors argue that delays in trials of labor
disputes increase firing costs. They also show that the rate of job turnover
is significantly lower in judicial districts with longer trials.3
34 DOING BUSINESS 2020

Efficient courts improve financial markets. Ponticelli and Alencar (2016)


find that firms operating in Brazilian municipalities with less congested civil
courts experienced a larger increase in the use of secured loans. In the
years following a reform that increased the protection of secured credi-
tors, firms also experienced a significant increase in investment and output
value. These results underscore the importance of the timely enforcement
of creditors’ rights by the courts to improve access to finance.4
Faster and cheaper access to justice reduces some of the obstacles faced
by entrepreneurs. Lichand and Soares (2014) analyze the creation of spe-
cial civil tribunals in São Paulo in the 1990s that expanded the geographic
presence of the justice system, simplified judicial procedures, and increased
the speed of dispute adjudication. They find that the implementation of the
tribunals led to higher rates of entrepreneurship among individuals with
higher levels of education.
Better access to long-term debt reduces the volatility of firm growth.
Demirgüç-Kunt, Horváth, and Huizinga (2017) examine this link using
firm-level data for 47 developing economies over the period 1995–2013.
They find that better credit information systems and contract enforcement
mechanisms supporting credit markets improve firm access to long-term
finance.
Bankruptcy costs play a major role, during both crises and recoveries.
Ordoñez (2013) argues that lending rates, investment, and output (mea-
sured by real GDP per capita) fall quickly during a crisis, but slowly during a
recovery. This asymmetry is stronger in economies with greater bankruptcy
costs (measured by the cost of bankruptcy, bankruptcy duration, and the
recovery rate).
Chakraborty (2016) argues that higher-quality institutions help firms to
invest in institutional-dependent inputs, which might affect a firm’s per-
formance. The author finds that, in India, judicial quality is a significant
determinant of higher firm performance, for both exports and domestic
sales. A conservative estimate suggests that a 10% increase in judicial qual-
ity increases firm sales by 1–2%.

Creditors’ rights
Calomiris and others (2017) study the link between creditors’ rights and
credit from banks using microlevel data for 12 emerging market economies
(figure 2.2). The authors posit that legal systems for movable collateral are
usually weak—they limit the scope of the movable assets that can be used
as collateral, lack centralized registries, and require court orders to enforce
defaults. When the protection of creditors’ rights for movable collateral
improves, however, banks lend one-third more using the same level of col-
lateral. The authors test which of the components (creation, monitoring, or
enforcement) matter more and find that the monitoring and enforcement
components are the most relevant, implying that the results are driven
by the existence of collateral registries and the possibility of out-of-court
enforcement, and not by the mere existence of laws.

Note: The movable collateral law index is based on seven of the eight components of the Doing Business strength

value of GlobalBank’s loans backed by immovable assets and movable assets (machinery, inventory, and accounts
receivable). Average for the period 2002–04.

Better protection of creditors’ rights benefits firms, as long as the pro-


tections improve the efficiency of credit markets and access to funding.
Berkowitz, Lin, and Ma (2015) study the complementarity between cred-
itors’ rights and firms’ protections against the potential expropriation of
their assets. Using data from China, the authors find that a reform reducing
expropriation risks and improving creditors’ rights led to an increase in firm
value. By analyzing a securitization reform in India, however, Vig (2013)
finds that the strengthening of creditors’ rights introduces distortions that
require firms to alter their debt structures by increasing liquidity.

Credit information
Credit information systems are intended to reduce the challenges of
asymmetric information between borrowers and lenders. With the right
infrastructure and regulation, credit bureaus allow lenders to identify the
risks associated with borrowers. Doblas-Madrid and Minetti (2013) find
that information sharing reduces contract delinquencies and defaults.
36 DOING BUSINESS 2020

Specifically, lenders joining the bureau experience a drop of 23–30 days in


the maximum number of days a borrower’s payment is late (and a reduction
of 6 days in the average number of days a payment is late). Furthermore,
lenders joining the bureau were between 7% and 9% less likely on average
to experience a serious delinquency (90 days or more past due); an even
larger decline was observed in the probability of a major default event (such
as debt collection or legal action). Dierkes and others (2013) find that busi-
ness credit information sharing improves the quality of default predictions
for German firms, especially for older firms and those with limited liability.
Firms identified as low risk by credit information systems enjoy better
access to credit. For example, using firm-level data and credit scores for
Belgian manufacturing firms between 1999 and 2007, Muûls (2015) finds
that firms export and import more when they have better credit ratings
and face lower credit constraints. The author argues that a firm’s negative
financial situation might make its overseas suppliers reluctant to trade with
the firm, thereby affecting its imports. Being credit-constrained also pre-
vents firms from overcoming the fixed costs associated with exporting and
importing.
Other economic agents benefit indirectly from credit bureau signals.
Beck, Lin, and Ma (2014) study the link between tax evasion and financial
sector outreach using data for more than 64,000 firms across 102 econo-
mies for the period 2002–10. The authors show that firms evade taxes to a
lesser degree in economies with better credit information sharing systems.
This effect is stronger for smaller firms, firms in smaller cities and towns, as
well as those operating in industries that rely on external financing, and in
­industries and economies with greater growth potential.

Shareholders’ rights
Strong shareholders’ rights are critical for the efficient operation of stock
markets. Claessens, Ueda, and Yafeh (2014) study the relationship of those
rights with the cost of capital using data from 40 economies for the period
1990–2007. The authors find that well-defined and well-enforced share-
holders’ rights reduce the overall cost of capital, especially for expanding or
distressed firms. They also find that the extent of creditors’ rights does not
have significant effects on the cost of capital. Houston, Lin, and Xie (2018)
study the link between the corporate cost of capital and shareholder pro-
tection laws in the United States. On the basis of a sample of about 5,000
public firms between 1985 and 2013, they find that weakened litigation
rights for shareholders increase firms’ implied cost of capital by approxi-
mately 5% above the sample median.
Shareholders’ rights are positively associated with economic growth.
Brown, Martinsson, and Petersen (2013) find that firms with strong share-
holder’s rights and better access to financing from their shareholders are
more likely to invest in research and development. The analysis is based on
a sample of 32 high- and middle-income economies.
The effects of business regulation 37

When lending is limited during banking crises, stock markets provide


an alternative source of funds for firms. Levine, Lin, and Xie (2016) study
this relationship using data for 36 economies from 1990 to 2011 and find
that stock markets better mitigate the challenges of a crisis when stronger
shareholder protection laws are in place. Economic crises tend to reduce
firm value. Jenwittayaroje and Jiraporn (2019) find that having indepen-
dent directors significantly improved firm value (by roughly 4%) during
the recession of 2008. Cremers and Ferrel (2014) find a robustly negative
association between restrictions on shareholder rights and firm value using
data from the United States.

Tax regulation
Using data from Pakistan for the 2006–11 period, Waseem (2018) finds that
following a tax increase firms react by underreporting profits, moving to
the informal economy, or changing their legal form. Also, even though tax
revenue was higher immediately after the tax increase, three years later it
was below initial levels.
Belitski, Chowdhury, and Desai (2016) investigate the interaction between
corruption and corporate income tax rates across a panel of 72 economies
in the period 2005–11 and find that higher tax rates consistently discourage
entry. They also find that corruption offsets the negative influence of high
taxes on entry. Rocha, Ulyssea, and Rachter (2018) find that reducing taxes
once registration costs have been eliminated reduced firm informality in
Brazil; however, this effect comes mainly from the registration of existing
firms and not from the creation of new formal businesses.
Harju, Matikka, and Rauhanen (2019) show that high compliance costs
produce reactions from entrepreneurs similar to those associated with
changes in tax rates (figure 2.3). Using evidence from value added tax fil-
ings in Finland, the authors find that an increase in sales is the result of a
reduction in compliance costs rather than the level of the value added tax
rate.
Esteller-Moré, Rizzo, and Secomandi (forthcoming) study the extent
to which taxes matter in directing foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows
and find that there is heterogeneity between Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) and non-OECD economies. Using
the dataset produced by Djankov and others (2010), the authors show
that taxes in non-OECD countries affect FDI flows, whereas they have no
­significant impact in OECD countries.

Foreign direct investment


Doing Business measures regulation from the point of view of domestic
entrepreneurs. The efficiency of regulation affecting domestic firms, how-
ever, is correlated with regulation affecting FDI. Corcoran and Gillanders

(2015) study this connection and find a strong correlation between foreign
investment and the ease of doing business ranking for the period 2004–09.
They also find that this result is primarily driven by the Doing Business ease
of trading across borders component.
Munemo (2014) also studies this connection using data for 138 econo-
mies over the period 2000–10. The study finds evidence that foreign invest-
ment crowds out domestic investment in economies with entry regulation
costs above a certain level. This evidence suggests that reforming business
start-up regulation plays a role in enhancing the complementarity between
foreign and domestic business activity.
The complexity of tax systems is a major determinant of FDI. Lawless
(2013) studies this relationship using data from 16 high-income source
economies and 57 host economies. The author finds that the number of
payments and time to comply with tax obligations have significant nega-
tive effects on whether foreign investment flows are present. Specifically,
a 10% reduction in tax complexity is comparable to a 1% reduction in the
effective corporate tax rate.
The effects of business regulation 39

Overall business regulatory environment


The Doing Business indicators correlate with different outcomes of interest to
policy makers. Kraay and Tawara (2013) evaluate this relationship with data
for all Doing Business topics and all economies and find that quantifying the
partial effects of indicators on relevant outcomes is challenging. Using data
for 189 economies for the period 2005–13, however, Djankov, Georgieva,
and Ramalho (2018) find that business-friendly regulation is correlated
with a lower poverty head count at the economy level. This association is
significant using Doing Business data on getting credit and enforcing con-
tracts. Additional analysis suggests that the conduit for poverty reduction
is business creation, both as a source of new jobs and as a manifestation of
thriving entrepreneurship.

Summary
Changes that improve regulatory efficiency have positive effects on entre-
preneurship, firm formalization, access to credit, and FDI.
Still, questions remain. First, what is the complementarity of different
regulatory reforms? Doing Business data tell us which reforms politicians
make together. Research needs to tell us whether this is the right combi-
nation of reforms for improved economic and social outcomes. Second,
how do some economies reform regulation consistently over an extended
period? In other words, does democracy—and frequent changes in
­government—incentivize more or less reform? Finally, what is the profile
of the reformers: young or more experienced politicians, officials facing
economic crises or an extended period of stability? The answers to such
questions may teach us about the logic of regulatory reform.

particular, imperfect enforcement of debt contracts in default reduces
shareholder-debtor conflicts and induces leveraged firms to invest more and
take on less risk as they approach financial distress.
CHAPTER 3
Removing obstacles to
entrepreneurship
Fifty-eight economies have eliminated the need for paid-in
minimum capital to start a business, whereas 48 others
have reduced the amount of capital required.

Fifty-six new credit bureaus and 32 new credit registries


have launched worldwide.

Sixty-three economies have introduced online systems for


filing and paying taxes.

Forty-five economies have adopted reforms implementing


or strengthening reorganization procedures to resolve
insolvency.

42 DOING BUSINESS 2020

D
oing Business has recorded more than 3,800 regulatory reforms since
the first study was published in 2003. Many of those reforms were
implemented in four areas measured by Doing Business—starting a
business, getting credit, paying taxes, and resolving insolvency.
Uruguay provides an example of the challenges faced by entrepreneurs
and firms as well as of the improvements resulting from reforms. In 2003,
entrepreneurs in Uruguay were required to deposit capital blocked at the
bank equivalent to 212% of income per capita, making it expensive to start
a business. Paying taxes was cumbersome for firms, with an average of 55
payments taking 304 hours to complete each year. With limited access to
credit—and a low asset recovery rate in cases of bankruptcy—operating a
business was challenging. Today, entrepreneurs in Montevideo decide what
capital they need when they start a business. Thanks to the introduction of
online tax services, the number of tax payments has been cut by one-third
and the time to pay by half. With 100% of the adult population covered by
a credit bureau, access to credit has been strengthened. And, if things go
wrong for the company, entrepreneurs can attempt a reorganization. As a
result, the recovery rate for firms in Uruguay improved significantly, rising
from 12 to 45 cents on the dollar.

Starting a business: Eliminating paid-in minimum


capital requirements
In Doing Business 2004, 124 economies required fixed paid-in minimum
capital to start a business. By 2019, this number has fallen by half, with
many governments eliminating the requirement after it failed to serve its
intended purpose of protecting creditors.

Origins of paid-in minimum capital requirements: Controlling


who can start a company
Paid-in minimum capital is the amount that entrepreneurs must legally
deposit in a bank or with a notary when incorporating a business. In 1855,
members of the United Kingdom’s House of Lords were among the first
to mention a minimum capital requirement. It was initially proposed that
companies should have capital of no less than 20,000 pounds sterling in the
context of the railway mania.1
Paid-in minimum capital requirements appeared elsewhere in Europe
in the second half of the 19th century. Entrepreneurs were required to
obtain government permission to start a company until the mid-1800s,
and the required concessions involved considerable government scrutiny.
Following the removal of concession prerequisites, European economies
experienced a boom in business creation and, in some cases, speculation in
the railway industry and banking sector. In response, governments enacted
new regulation with stricter rules to start a business.
In Germany, for example, the Corporations Act of 1870 created the
­concept of joint-stock companies, which required entrepreneurs to comply
Removing obstacles to entrepreneurship 43

with more onerous rules when setting up a company, including much larger
share values.2 The act specified a minimum value per share of 50 German
thalers for named shares and 100 thalers for bearer shares. A fixed nominal
paid-in minimum requirement to start a company was first introduced in
the 1892 law on limited liability companies.3 Such firms were required to
have an issued capital of at least 20,000 marks, of which at least 25% had
to be paid in before the firm could operate. This amount was ­substantial—
with income per capita of 470 marks in Germany in 1892, the paid-in
minimum capital requirement was the equivalent of 42 times income per
capita.4
Other European economies also introduced nominal paid-in minimum
capital requirements. Sweden, for example, passed a Companies Act in 1895
and introduced a nominal minimum share capital. Portugal passed similar
legislation in 1911, Austria in 1916, and most other Western European
countries by the mid-1930s—including France, Italy, and Spain. Such leg-
islation later spread beyond Europe to economies like Brazil, Chile, and
Colombia.

Toward helping business


Once viewed as a way to provide security to creditors, paid-in mini-
mum capital requirements proved to be inefficient.5 In some econo-
mies, entrepreneurs would borrow the amount required for deposit at
the time of business registration only to withdraw it immediately after.
Worse, paid-in minimum capital requirements create barriers that
prevent entrepreneurs from formalizing.6 These requirements espe-
cially affect female-owned businesses, which tend to have less start-up
capital.7
Doing Business has tracked paid-in minimum capital requirements in
190 economies since 2003. During that period, 106 economies enacted
139 regulatory reforms reducing or eliminating paid-in minimum capital
requirements. Of these, 79 economies implemented one regulatory change,
and 27 economies enacted more than one. Angola, for example, made three
successive reductions of the minimum capital requirement in 2003, 2006,
and 2011 before eliminating it in 2016.
Fifty-eight economies eliminated paid-in minimum capital requirements.
The most proactive regions were Europe and Central Asia (16 regulatory
changes) and the Middle East and North Africa (12 regulatory changes).
Some of the most recent examples are found among high-income econ-
omies of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD). In May 2019, for example, Belgium amended its Commercial
Code to abolish the paid-in minimum contribution requirement for lim-
ited liability companies. Following the reform, company founders were
required only to prove sufficient equity to carry out operations in their
financial plans.
Within the same period, Doing Business captured 81 regulatory changes reduc-
ing the amount of the paid-in minimum capital requirement. Sub-Saharan
Africa was the region implementing the greatest number of reductions.
44 DOING BUSINESS 2020

Many of these cuts were made by the 17 member states of the Organization
for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (Organisation pour l’Har-
monisation en Afrique du Droit des Affaires, or OHADA). Entering into force
in May 2014, the revised Uniform Act regarding the Law of Commercial
Companies and Interest Economics Associations simplified the rules for the
creation of companies and allowed member states to set paid-in minimum
requirements nationally, with a minimum of 5,000 CFA francs ($9) per share.
The Central African Republic, for example, reduced its paid-in minimum capi-
tal requirement from 527% of income per capita in Doing Business 2004 to 35%
of income per capita in Doing Business 2020. Similarly, 20 OECD high-income
economies introduced at least one reduction. In April 2019, Denmark low-
ered its paid-in minimum capital requirement from 50,000 kroner ($7,470)
to 40,000 kroner ($5,975) for domestic limited liability companies. In the
Europe and Central Asia region, paid-in minimum capital requirements were
reduced 16 times during the last 17 years. For example, Croatia reduced its
paid-in minimum capital requirement by half in April 2019, from 10,000
kunas ($1,505) to 5,000 kunas ($752).
The most significant changes, however, took place in the Middle East
and North Africa (figure 3.1). The average paid-in minimum capital
requirement in the Middle East and North Africa in Doing Business 2004
was 466% of income per capita.8 In Doing Business 2020 it has fallen to just
5%. Jordan and Saudi Arabia made the biggest reductions over time—from
over 1,000% of income per capita in Doing Business 2004 to a zero paid-in
minimum capital requirement.

Removing obstacles to entrepreneurship 45

How do paid-in minimum capital requirements relate to business


formalization and viability?
When deciding to incorporate a business, founders consider several fac-
tors: what legal form the company will take, what its main activities will
be, where the premises will be located, how to advertise and promote the
company, and so on. With a variety of start-up expenses—from incorpora-
tion costs to purchasing materials and equipment to paying salaries—the
requirement to pay in a certain minimum capital necessitates additional
cash that entrepreneurs must generate and be able to set aside. These costs
may negatively affect an entrepreneur’s decision to start a business. Data
suggest that higher requirements for paid-in minimum capital are associ-
ated, on average, with lower new business entry (figure 3.2).
Furthermore, higher minimum capital that must be paid in upon incor-
poration is associated with a higher percentage of firms expected to pay
bribes to get an operating license and with a higher share of firms identify-
ing access to finance as a major constraint.9
Early advocates of paid-in minimum capital requirements believed that
they served as a protection for investors. However, Doing Business data show

Note: The analysis was conducted using cross-sectional data as well as panel data with economy and year fixed
effects regression. The paid-in minimum capital requirement reflects the amount that an entrepreneur needs to
deposit in a bank or with a third party, and it is recorded as a percentage of the economy’s income per capita.
New business density represents the number of newly registered corporations per 1,000 working-age people
(age 15–64). The relationship is significant at the 5% level after controlling for income per capita. Annual data
are available for 2006–16; the dataset comprises 93 economies where observations are available on both metrics.

that economies requiring businesses to pay in 100% or more of income


per capita upon incorporation tend to have a recovery rate that is 17 cents
lower, on average, than economies that require less capital.10 Economies
with lower paid-in minimum capital requirements also tend to have, on
average, stronger regulation for the protection of minority investors.11 In the
end, investor protection is guaranteed with much more efficient ways than
the requirement of a fixed paid-in minimum capital for all companies.

Getting credit–credit information: Developing credit


reporting systems
Since the inception of Doing Business, 56 new credit bureaus and 32 new
credit registries have launched worldwide. Credit information sharing has
become a key element in the infrastructure of credit markets around the
world as a prerequisite for sound risk management and financial stability.
Credit bureaus and registries offer a way to minimize the problem of asym-
metric information because they help lenders better predict borrowers’
capacity to repay, therefore reducing the probability of default.12

The emergence of credit information sharing around the world


Before the establishment of credit reporting service providers, credit infor-
mation sharing took place informally. During the 19th century, communities
and merchants in the United Kingdom shared only negative information,
maintaining lists of individuals with poor credit records in an effort to reduce
their own risk and offer credit to more borrowers. The first formal arrange-
ment for credit information sharing emerged in the United States in the
1840s with the creation of the first commercial credit reporting registries.13
In the 1950s and 1960s the first bureaus operated with limited infor-
mation and focused on particular industries, such as banks and retailers.
Credit reporting systems have evolved from distributing only negative
information (for example, individuals with overdue payments) to including
positive information that allows a debtor to create “reputational collateral,”
typically in the form of a credit score that signals a borrower’s individ-
ual creditworthiness to a large pool of lenders. Since the 1980s, the credit
reporting industry has expanded worldwide.
Expanding consumer credit has fueled the emergence of credit bureaus
and registries in developing economies. In recent decades, major inter-
national bureaus have opened in low-income economies, bringing their
expertise developed in high-income markets.

Improving credit reporting systems in developing economies


Credit bureaus and registries have become nearly universal. Whereas 67%
of economies had a private credit bureau or a public credit registry in Doing
Business 2005, in 2019 that figure is 88%.
In Doing Business 2005, all OECD high-income economies had an operating
credit bureau or registry compared to 57% of economies in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Removing obstacles to entrepreneurship 47

Since then, most new credit bureaus and registries were established in devel-
oping regions. Before 2008, Sub-Saharan Africa had very few credit bureaus
and lending markets were underdeveloped.14 Governments began passing
laws licensing credit bureaus and mandating credit information sharing by
commercial banks. In Doing Business 2020, 92% of economies in Sub-Saharan
Africa have an operational credit bureau or registry (figure 3.3). Seventeen
of the 62 new credit bureaus and 15 of the 39 new credit registries launched
since the first Doing Business study were established in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The Europe and Central Asia region follows closely, with 16 credit bureaus
and 7 credit registries founded since the inception of Doing Business. Eastern
European economies had no private credit bureaus until the mid-1990s and,
as they transitioned to market economies, required legislative changes to
encourage commercial banks to share credit data.
Despite substantial reform, Sub-Saharan Africa remains the region
with the least developed credit information systems. Until recently in the
economies of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (Union
Economique et Monétaire Ouest Africaine, or UEMOA) credit information
was available only through the Central Bank of West African States (Banque
Centrale des Etats de l’Afrique de l’Ouest, or BCEAO) credit registry, which
operated with minimal features. The registry did not provide comprehen-
sive credit reporting services to lenders; instead, its primary aim was to
support the BCEAO’s supervision functions. In 2015 the BCEAO selected
Creditinfo VoLo as the accredited company to operate a credit bureau in its
member economies; operations began in February 2016.

In Nigeria, credit bureaus were formally recognized starting in 2008


when the Central Bank of Nigeria licensed three private credit bureaus.
As in UEMOA economies, the low coverage rate presented an obstacle to
credit bureau development in Nigeria. In 2010, the largest credit bureau,
CRC Credit Bureau Limited, covered just 4.1% of the adult population and
offered basic services including online distribution of positive and negative
credit data on any loan amount to both individuals and firms. In 2011, two
retailers started providing data to CRC, and by 2018 CRC had increased its
coverage to 14% of the adult population and offered credit scoring services,
thus achieving a score of 8 (the maximum score) on the depth of credit
information index.

Impact of establishing new credit information systems


Doing Business data indicate that firms are 9% less likely to identify access
to finance as a major constraint in economies where a bureau or regis-
try exists. Economies with credit bureaus are also associated with higher
­credit-to-GDP ratios (figure 3.4).
Setting up new credit bureaus and registries has positive effects within
economies. The launch of a credit bureau in Kenya, for example, has helped
to reduce interest rates, collateral, and default rates for loans at commercial
banks.15 In India, lenders in the microfinance industry observed 50% lower
default rates as well as higher operational efficiencies.16
Credit bureaus launched in 2019 are more likely to generate a higher
score in the Doing Business depth of credit information index upon their
establishment, with features including the distribution of credit scores,

positive data (like on-time payment status), and data from alternative
sources (such as utilities or retailers) that help to increase their coverage.
Although credit bureaus opening in 2004/05 scored 2.5 points on average
(out of 6 points) on the depth of credit information index, private bureaus
that opened in 2017/18 scored 5 points on average.17 In Doing Business 2006,
it was more common for credit bureaus to launch with only a few features,
such as distributing data on both individuals and firms and distributing
both positive and negative data. By 2019 new bureaus and registries typ-
ically launch with the capacity to provide credit scoring services, data on
utility credit, and online platforms.

Paying taxes: Transitioning from manual to electronic


filing and payment
In Doing Business 2006, only 43 economies had an online system for filing
and paying taxes. Fifteen years later, this number has more than doubled
(to 106) as economies shift from manual filing and in-person payment of
taxes to filing tax returns electronically and paying taxes online.

Origins of online filing of tax returns: Making compliance with tax


obligations easier
Electronic filing (e-filing) and electronic payment (e-payment) are the pro-
cesses of submitting tax returns and payments over the Internet. E-filing
and e-payment have various benefits that have made the tax preparation
process easier for businesses, including the ability to file a tax return from
one’s office at a convenient time and the ability to prepopulate tax returns
with data already held by the tax administration.
The United States was the first economy to introduce e-filing in 1986,
followed by Australia in 1987.18 E-filing in the United States began as a
small test program consisting of just five tax preparers from the cities of
Cincinnati, Raleigh-Durham, and Phoenix.
Although tax preparers used special computers and software to simplify
tax preparation in the 1980s, they still had to print all the forms and mail
them to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The early e-filing process
consisted of tax preparers using a machine called Mitron—a tape reader
with a modem. The tax preparer would insert the tape with the tax data
and then transfer it to the IRS. At the IRS, an agent would transfer the
tape into a supercomputer called Zilog, which would read the data and
organize it into files that the IRS could use for processing. The program’s
success prompted the IRS to expand it to additional cities. By 1987, 66
tax preparers from seven U.S. cities had used the system to file roughly
78,000 tax returns. To improve the system, that year the IRS added an
electronic direct deposit option, allowing tax refunds to be wired to the
taxpayer’s bank account.
In 1988 the IRS moved to an IBM processing system, which eliminated
the need for an IRS employee to manually connect a phone to a modem.
50 DOING BUSINESS 2020

The IRS e-filing system became operational nationwide in 1990, and


4.2 million taxpayers filed their returns electronically that year. Today, in
the United States e-filing and e-payment are the most common means used
by taxpayers to file and pay their taxes.

From paper to electronic tax returns and tax compliance simplification


The introduction of electronic systems for filing and paying taxes has cut
tax compliance times globally. The use of electronic tax filing and pay-
ment systems has risen sharply since 2004, with the most notable prog-
ress in the economies of Europe and Central Asia (figure 3.5). By 2018,
the average compliance time in this region fell from 473 to 225 hours per
year mainly because of the use of e-filing and e-payment in addition to
simplifying and streamlining the tax systems of the individual economies.
The most common feature of reform globally in the area of paying taxes
was the implementation or enhancement of electronic filing and payment
systems.
Since Doing Business 2006, 63 economies have introduced online plat-
forms for filing tax returns including online payment modules. Europe
and Central Asia and East Asia and the Pacific were the two most proactive
regions introducing such systems. Among high-income economies, 97%
use electronic filing or payments, whereas Sub-Saharan Africa has the
lowest share of economies (17%) using such features. Factors inhibiting

the adoption of technology by tax administrations and taxpayers include


low literacy levels, unreliable information technology (IT) infrastructure,
and poor availability of suitable accounting and tax preparation software.
Doing Business data show, however, that the use of online systems for tax
filing and payment resulted in efficiency gains in several economies in
Sub-Saharan Africa in 2018 including Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Mauritius,
and Togo.

reforms that reduced the time to file and pay taxes to just 230 hours (from
866 hours in Doing Business 2006). The reform process began in early 2000
with changes to regional and central tax administration organizational
structures, the introduction of a mandatory tax certification test for employ-
ees, the adoption of strict tax audit guidelines, and the development of the
tax administration information system. At the same time, the tax author-
ity built a centralized tax administration register and began upgrading its
systems to prepare for the transition to online tax return filing. Electronic
submission of tax documentation began in 2004. Finally, in 2011, the
Czech Republic expanded the list of taxpayer services provided online and
established a Specialized Tax Office that launched a taxpayer–tax agency
feedback mechanism to improve client services. All of these efforts resulted
in a substantial reduction in the time to file and pay taxes.
China has implemented business tax reforms consistently over the years,
with notable results. In Doing Business 2006, for example, businesses in
Shanghai spent 832 hours per year on average to prepare, file, and pay
taxes, and they had to make 37 payments. By Doing Business 2020, these
metrics have been reduced to just 138 hours per year and 7 payments.
In 2014 China integrated taxpayer services functions through a mobile
tax application and launched official accounts on the two main Chinese
social media platforms (WeChat and Weibo). In 2015, the Internet+Taxation
Initiative unlocked the potential of big data for taxpayer services, such as
data sharing among government bodies, online training, and e-­invoices.
The State Taxation Administration launched the Golden Tax III system in
2017, which facilitated e-filing of different stamp duty taxes. Additionally,
China implemented a series of measures in the past two years, which
­simplified corporate income tax, labor taxes, value added tax declarations,
and e-delivery of invoices.

How do e-filing and e-payment of taxes relate to less corruption?


Studies show that high tax compliance costs are associated with larger
informal sectors, more corruption,19 and less investment.20 The moderniza-
tion of IT infrastructure increases efficiency, reduces physical interactions
between tax officials and taxpayers, and eliminates the physical exchange
of cash, which can reduce rent-seeking. Moreover, data show economies
with fewer tax payments21 have a lower perceived level of public sector
corruption (figure 3.6).
Businesses care about what they get in return for their taxes. Good quality
physical infrastructure is critical for the sound functioning of an economy—it

plays a central role in determining the location of economic activity. The


efficiency with which tax revenue is converted into public goods and ser-
vices has an impact on the tax morale of businesses and individuals. Data
show that, in economies where fewer tax payments result from the use of
e-filing and e-payment of taxes, the public’s perception of the quality of
public services—and their independence from political pressure—is higher.22
Electronic services facilitate a transparent platform for collaboration among
government agencies as well as interactions with taxpayers, reducing the
vulnerability of public services to political interference.
Technology is changing how taxes are administered. More and more
companies are using tax software, and more and more tax authorities are
creating easier-to-use online portals to simplify tax compliance. Electronic
systems for filing and paying taxes benefit taxpayers by reducing preparation
time and errors by enabling automated verification of transactions. These
systems also benefit the tax authorities by making tax systems more robust
and reducing operational costs—such as those associated with processing
and handling paper tax returns—allowing human and financial resources
to be reallocated to efforts that improve services to taxpayers. In the past

continuously enhance their online systems to improve their efficiency and
facilitate more comprehensive and faster risk assessment and compliance
checks on returns.23 This efficiency in turn has benefitted taxpayers by eas-
ing the compliance burden.

Resolving insolvency: Introducing or strengthening


reorganization procedures
Since Doing Business 2006, more than 40 economies have adopted reforms
implementing or strengthening reorganization procedures to resolve insol-
vency. Having reorganization procedures reduces failure rates of small and
medium-size enterprises and prevents the liquidation of insolvent but via-
ble businesses.

The emergence of reorganization procedures


Reorganization is a process by which the financial well-being and viability
of a debtor’s business may be restored through a reorganization plan, so
that the business continues to operate as a going concern. In accordance
with good international practices, a reorganization procedure enshrines
clear rules on its commencement, including an insolvency test; provides a
mechanism to manage the debtor’s property; sets minimum requirements
for the content and adoption of the reorganization plan; contains an ele-
ment of debt restructuring; and provides a stay period for enforcement
actions. Before the introduction of reorganization, corporate overindebted-
ness was solved primarily by applying mechanisms like in-court liquidation
and schemes of arrangement with creditors.
The concept of liquidation has been present in both civil and common
law economies since as early as the 16th century. Liquidation is the pro-
cess of assembling and selling the assets of an insolvent debtor, emptying
it and distributing the proceeds to its creditors. Liquidation rests under the
assumption that exit from the market encourages entrepreneurs to rees-
tablish themselves with a better reallocation of resources, generating firm
creation and economic growth.24 The risk, however, arises when a viable
business is forced to liquidate but could otherwise become profitable with
the appropriate restructuring of its obligations, management, or business
industry or by undertaking other structural changes. Research also shows
that after completion of liquidation, creditors often recoup only a portion
of their investment.25
Apart from liquidation, many common law economies also still rely on
other instruments like the “scheme of arrangement” for debt restructuring.
Initially introduced into English law in 187026—and later to the economies
of the Commonwealth27—the scheme of arrangement is a court-approved
agreement between a company and its shareholders or creditors aimed at
enabling both solvent and insolvent companies to rearrange their assets
and liabilities.
54 DOING BUSINESS 2020

The scheme of arrangement is not a tool designed specifically to restore


the financial viability of an insolvent business.28 Therefore, the need for
better mechanisms emerged. Modern insolvency regimes shifted the focus
toward offering restructuring tools to businesses that are economically
viable but face temporary financial distress, while also allowing a speedy
liquidation of nonviable businesses. Inspired by commercial debt restruc-
turing performed by merchants with their trade networks through nego-
tiation, and supplemented with the stay of enforcement proceedings, the
idea of a reorganization procedure emerged as an efficient alternative.
Originally introduced into law in the United States in 1978, the first wave
of reforms establishing reorganization procedures followed the financial
crisis at the end of the 20th century.29 It was at this time that legislators
realized the necessity of separating unviable businesses from viable ones,
and to preserve the latter. Most reforms that introduced reorganization
procedures were, however, implemented during and after the 2008 finan-
cial crisis.
Introducing effective reorganization procedures is a recent phenomenon,
and, in many economies, businesses facing financial distress still do not
have an option to reorganize. Around the world, one-third of economies
have no reorganization procedures.

Reforms introducing reorganization procedures


The case of India provides an example of successful implementation of
reorganization procedures. India established an insolvency regime in
2016.30 Before the implementation of the reform, it was very burden-
some for secured creditors to seize companies in default of their loans.
The most common way for secured creditors to recover the debt was
through very lengthy and burdensome foreclosure proceedings that
lasted almost five years, making efficient recovery almost impossible.
The new law introduced the option of reorganization (corporate resolu-
tion insolvency process) for commercial entities as an alternative to liq-
uidation or other mechanisms of debt enforcement, reshaping the way
insolvent firms could restore their financial well-being or close down.
With the reorganization procedure available, companies have effective
tools to restore financial viability, and creditors have access to better
tools to successfully negotiate and have greater chances to revert the
money loaned at the end of insolvency proceedings.
Since its implementation, more than 2,000 companies have used the
new law. Of these, about 470 have commenced liquidation and more
than 120 have approved reorganization plans, with the remaining cases
still pending. In the past, foreclosure was the most common procedure
reported by legal practitioners in both Delhi and Mumbai under the case
study assumptions measured by the resolving insolvency indicator set,
with an approximate duration of 4.3 years. Despite some challenges in the
implementation of the reform—particularly regarding court operations
and the application of the law by multiple stakeholders—the number of
Removing obstacles to entrepreneurship 55

reorganizations in India has been gradually increasing. As a result, reor-


ganization has become the most likely procedure for viable companies as
measured by Doing Business, increasing the overall recovery rate from 27
to 72 cents on the dollar. This increase in the recovery rate is based on the
standardized methodology and underlying assumptions of the resolving
insolvency indicator set, which measures domestic limited liability com-
panies only.

Impact of reforms related to reorganization proceedings


The highest recovery rates as measured by Doing Business are recorded in
economies where reorganization is the most common proceeding.31 The
accessibility to reorganization procedures in an economy is associated with
higher lending to the private sector. Investment growth rises as a percent-
age of GDP as economies make reorganization procedures available, most
likely because economies with faster GDP growth rates may also be able to
enhance investment and vice versa. In economies without reorganization
procedures, domestic investment as a percentage of GDP declined by 1%
on average between 2004 and 2019; it rose by roughly 3% on average in
economies where reorganization procedures are available.32
In those economies with reorganization procedures, domestic investment
has been rising over the same period in every region except Latin America
and the Caribbean. Low-income and lower-middle-income economies in
South Asia and the Middle East and North Africa have been driving this trend
with domestic investment growth exceeding 10%. In contrast, for economies
with no reorganization procedures, domestic investment has been falling or
has remained flat in every region except East Asia and the Pacific.

CHAPTER 4
Employing workers
Nearly 40% of low- and lower-middle-income economies
prohibit the use of fixed-term contracts for permanent
tasks. In many of those economies, such legislation is
obsolete.

Six economies revised legal restrictions on nonstandard


working hours in 2018/19.

In economies with flexible employment regulation, more

58 DOING BUSINESS 2020

E
mployment laws—introduced in response to market failures ­including
worker exploitation, discrimination in hiring and working policies,
and unfair dismissal practices—are vital to worker well-­being. At the
same time, firms should also be free to conduct their business in the most
efficient way possible. When labor regulation is too cumbersome for the
private sector, economies experience higher ­unemployment—most pro-
nounced among youth and female workers.1 With fewer formal job oppor-
tunities, workers turn to the informal sector.2 Flexible labor regulation
provides workers with the opportunity to choose their jobs and working
hours more freely, which in turn increases labor force participation.3
For example, if France were to attain the same degree of labor market
flexibility as the United States, its employment rate would rise by 1.6 per-
centage points, or 14% of the employment gap between the two countries.4
When Sweden increased labor market flexibility, by giving firms with fewer
than 11 employees the freedom to exempt two workers from their priority
list, labor productivity in small firms increased 2–3% more than it did at
larger firms.5
Governments face the challenge of striking a balance between worker
protection and labor market flexibility. As argued in the World Bank’s World
Development Report 2019: The Changing Nature of Work, extending protection
is the task of the government, not the firm.6 The employing workers indi-
cator set measures the flexibility of employment regulation. The indicators
follow the life span of a typical employment relationship—from hiring to
work scheduling and eventually to redundancy in a manner consistent
with international conventions.7

Who regulates employment the most?


Low- and lower-middle-income economies tend to regulate employment
more than do high- and upper-middle-income economies (figure 4.1).
For example, regulation in the Central African Republic, Madagascar, and
Senegal presents significant obstacles for employers hiring new workers
or dismissing redundant ones. Among lower-middle-income economies in
East Asia and the Pacific, Indonesia is one of the economies with the most
rigid employment regulation, particularly on hiring. In the same region
and income group, Mongolia allows the use of fixed-term contracts for per-
manent tasks with no limit on their renewal. In the Europe and Central
Asia region, regulation on hiring in Serbia is relatively rigid, and authorities
could benefit from the experience of Hungary where employers have the
freedom to use fixed-term contracts of up to five years for tasks of a per-
manent nature.
Many high- and upper-middle-income economies, including Denmark,
Namibia, and the United States, have flexible labor regulation. In other
advanced economies, including Luxembourg, Slovenia, and Spain, strict
labor rules make the process of hiring employees arduous. Research shows

that strict employment protection legislation shapes firms’ incentives to


enter and exit the economy, which in turn has implications for job creation
and economic growth.8 When designing labor laws—specifically those that
regulate hiring, work scheduling, and redundancy—authorities must assess
the impact on firms.

Ease of hiring
Businesses need flexibility in hiring. Doing Business uses the ease of hiring
index to measure the availability and maximum length of a fixed-term con-
tract for a task related to the permanent activities of a firm, the probation-
ary period, and the ratio of the minimum wage to value added per worker.
Using a fixed-term contract, an employer can hire a worker for a specific
period of time. These contracts afford employers the flexibility to respond
quickly to changes during the course of their operations, temporarily sub-
stitute workers on leave, and reduce the risk of new business ventures.
Fixed-term contracts can be critical to boosting youth employment by act-
ing as a channel for youth to gain work experience.9 Doing Business data
60 DOING BUSINESS 2020

show that 124 economies allow fixed-term contracts for permanent tasks.
Those that do not are primarily low- and lower-middle-income economies
where legislation is obsolete in this area. Honduras, for example, prohibits
the use of fixed-term contracts for permanent tasks according to legislation
from 1959. Pakistan limits employer flexibility in this area with legislation
dating to the 1960s.
Some economies have reformed their laws governing the use of fixed-
term contracts. In 2017, as part of a revision of its Labor Code, Nepal intro-
duced fixed-term contracts for permanent tasks, and Benin made fixed-term
contract renewal unlimited. Although studies suggest that potential risks
could be associated with an overreliance on fixed-term contracts, the avail-
ability of fixed-term contracts should be considered in economies that have
large youth populations but outdated legislation.10
The probationary period is used to evaluate a potential full-time
­employee’s suitability for a job, including that person’s skills, expertise, and
productivity. It is a low-risk mechanism for employers, on the one hand,
because it gives them the freedom to terminate employment contracts at a
low cost if a worker turns out to be a poor match for the job.11 Employees,
on the other hand, use the probationary period as a means to secure a per-
manent job. Often the duration varies between different groups of workers,
with longer average probationary periods allowed for high-skilled workers.
Moldova’s labor code, for example, establishes a six-month probationary
period for employees in a managerial role and a one-month probationary
period for low-skilled employees. The duration of a probationary period
also depends on firm size. In Australia, firms with 15 employees or more
are allowed to offer a maximum of 6 months of trial period, whereas firms
with 14 or fewer employees can employ workers on a probationary basis
for the first 12 months of their employment.
A mandatory minimum wage is designed to ensure that all workers
receive fair compensation. Research shows that firms in developing econ-
omies struggle to pay minimum wages to their workers because the ratio
of minimum wages to median earnings is too high relative to the ratio in
high-income economies.12 For example, a 10-percentage-point increase in
the minimum wage in Indonesia was associated with a 0.8-­percentage-point
decrease in employment on average in a given province.13 Turkey’s subsidy
for low-income workers failed to boost either employment or economic
activity and negatively affected the fiscal accounts.14 The relationship
between minimum wage and employment is sometimes positive, however.
A 2018 study on Mauritius—where the minimum wage is set by sector—
found that a 10% increase in the minimum wage has a slightly positive
effect on employment in the covered sector.15

Flexibility of hours
To capture the flexibility in legislation governing working hours, the employ-
ing workers indicator set measures the length of the workweek, restrictions
Employing workers 61

and premiums on nonregular working hours (such as night work, weekly


holiday work, and overtime work), and the length of paid annual leave.
Research shows that greater employee freedom in choosing working hours
leads to higher productivity.16 Nevertheless, daily hours must not be set
so high that workers become susceptible to fatigue and reduced produc-
tivity.17 Ninety percent of economies have a workweek that is between five
and a half and six days. In 2018/19 Austria and Hungary reformed in the
area of working hours. Austria increased overtime to 12 hours per day and
60 hours per week.18 Hungary raised its overtime allowance to a maximum
of 400 hours per calendar year. In 2016, Hungary also removed restrictions
on working hours for retail stores, allowing them to open on Sundays.
Paid leave is the period during which workers take time away from their
job while continuing to receive an income and social protections.19 Doing
Business measures annual leave days for workers with 1, 5, and 10 years
of tenure. With 23.4 working days on average, the Middle East and North
Africa is the region with the most paid annual leave, followed by Sub-
Saharan Africa with 21.7 days. Workers in Guinea, Libya, and Togo, for
example, are entitled to annual leave of 30 working days on average, one
and a half times the global average of 18.8 days (figure 4.2). However, 9
out of every 10 employees in Sub-Saharan Africa operate in the informal
sector;20 therefore, the intended social protection provided by paid leave
reaches only a select few.

Ease of redundancy
Cumbersome redundancy procedures pose challenges to firms. The employ-
ing workers indicator set measures aspects of regulation governing notifi-
cation and approval requirements, retraining obligations, and priority rules
for dismissal and reemployment. Rigid regulation can lead to a misalloca-
tion of company resources, providing older workers with job stability while
leaving younger, less experienced workers vulnerable.21
Redundancy is permitted as grounds for dismissal in all economies
except Bolivia, Oman, Tonga, and República Bolivariana de Venezuela.
Half of economies globally require that a third party, such as a govern-
ment agency, be notified of redundancy dismissals of a single employee or
group of employees. Although approval obligations are mandatory in just
16% of economies, they complicate the process. In Ghana, for example, an
employer must notify the Chief Labor Officer and the trade union of the
dismissal of any employee at least three months before termination—such
a rule significantly reduces the freedom of employers to adjust to shocks
when they arise.22
Priority rules for dismissal stipulate that certain workers must be laid off
first on the basis of attributes such as seniority, marital status, or number
of dependents. Similarly, priority rules for reemployment require that a
firm first offer any position that becomes available to workers previously
dismissed for redundancy before opening recruitment to a wider pool of
applicants. Doing Business data
show that priority rules are most

In Cameroon, an employer must

Redundancy cost
Severance payments for redundancy dismissals aim to protect the income of
redundant workers. Although the size of severance payments varies across
the 79% of Doing Business economies that require them, they can be difficult
or impossible for small firms to disburse. South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa
are the regions with the highest redundancy cost. Redundancy costs on aver-
age in South-Asia amount to more than twice the weeks of salary paid to
redundant workers in the OECD high-income group. In Zambia, severance
payments amount to 20 months of salary for workers with 10 years of tenure.
Alternative unemployment protection systems, including unemployment
benefits, can be more effective at mitigating the effects of an unanticipated
worker dismissal. Whereas severance payments do not consider the worker’s
financial situation, unemployment insurance collects funds to provide sup-
port to workers who require support. Moreover, large severance payments
rarely reach more vulnerable groups of workers. Unemployment benefit
programs have been proven more effective at reaching these groups.24

Why flexible employment regulation matters


When faced with rigid employment protection laws, firms lose the f­ reedom
to conduct business efficiently. They find alternative ways to meet their
­business needs, often hiring workers informally (figure 4.4). A large informal

sector, particularly in developing economies, undermines productivity and


economic development which, in turn, leads to increased unemployment,
especially among disadvantaged groups.25 Unemployed workers, or those
with jobs in the informal sector offering no health or social protection ben-
efits, are less likely to come out of poverty.
Restrictive labor regulation also restrains the freedom of employees to
choose their employment and working hours, which negatively affects
productivity. A firm’s ability to adjust to shocks is adversely affected by
rigid labor regulation.26 Moreover, firms invest less in new product creation
in such an environment.27 Restrictive steps for dismissing workers cause
managers to divert their attention from performing more productive tasks
and investing time in innovation as well as research and development.28
They also result in smaller firm size and the relocation of firms to econo-
mies with flexible regulation, which in turn reduces the benefits of trade
liberalization.29

Summary
Although labor laws provide essential protections to workers, firms should
not have to confront overly burdensome regulation. By changing restrictive
labor regulation, economies could better adjust to fast-changing market
conditions and dynamic work environments, generating positive outcomes
that include smaller informal sectors, increased employment, and higher
growth. Reinstating the option of fixed-term contracts would boost youth
employment. Similarly, miscalculated changes to the minimum wage could
lead to a decline in employment. Easing redundancy procedures facilitates
businesses in allocating resources more efficiently, while revising legal
restrictions on nonstandard working hours allows both employers and
employees to maintain competitiveness.

CHAPTER 5
Contracting with the
government
Efficiency in public procurement ensures better use of
taxpayer money.

Awarding a simple contract for road maintenance takes


as little as 161 days in the Republic of Korea or as long as
15 months in Chile.

Resolving complaints raised during the award and


execution of a contract takes 330 days in the Czech
Republic or more than four years in the Dominican
Republic.

68 DOING BUSINESS 2020

I
n 2007 the Nigerian government awarded a contract for the rehabili-
tation of a local road. The works were slated to begin in 2009, but the
project specifications had been designed six years before the contract was
awarded. By the time the contractor started the works, the condition of the
road had deteriorated significantly. The project was awarded at less than
60% of the cost required to execute it. At the expiration of the contract
period in June 2012, the project was only 8% complete.1 A decade after
the contract award, rehabilitation works were still underway and a trip that
would typically take one hour took four.2
Delays and cost overruns are not the only results of nonfunctioning ­public
procurement. The waste of taxpayer money is the worst c­ onsequence. Bribes
also abound. In Honduras, the now-defunct highway fund, Fondo Vial,
awarded contracts to businesses run by a drug cartel to conduct road mainte-
nance in exchange for bribes.3
The contracting with the government indicator set—Doing Business’s lat-
est area of research—benchmarks the efficiency of the entire public pro-
curement life cycle, with a focus on the infrastructure sector.

Why does efficient public procurement matter?


Public procurement is the process by which governments purchase goods
and services from private firms. In many sectors—for example, transport,
infrastructure, and education—public authorities are the principal buyers.
Worldwide, public procurement accounts for between 10% and 25% of GDP
on average, and governments cumulatively spend $10 trillion on public con-
tracts each year.4 In OECD member economies, public procurement accounts
for 12% of general government expenditures.5 At 15%, low-income econ-
omies’ share of public procurement in GDP is the largest.6 Significant varia-
tion exists among economies: the ratio of government expenditure to GDP in
Finland and the Netherlands is about 20%, whereas in Bahrain and Oman it
is about 7%.7
Inefficient procurement regulation leads to substantial losses of public
funds. Studies indicate that excess costs for a public procurement project are
in the range of 25–50%.8 Research on the Democratic Republic of Congo,
Indonesia, Japan, and Turkey shows that improved competition reduces
prices.9 Similarly, a World Bank study finds that higher accountability leads
to lower costs in road construction projects, as do transparency in adver-
tising and tendering in Italy and the Slovak Republic.10 Competition also
deters bribes. A study of 34,000 firms in 88 economies shows that, in econ-
omies with more transparent procurement law, firms report paying fewer
and smaller bribes to public officials.11
Losses from bribery (that is, when a firm bribes a public official to obtain
a contracting advantage) represent on average between 4% and 10% of
global procurement spending.12 A new World Bank study shows that up to
one-fifth of the value of government contracts may be lost to corruption.13
The indirect costs of corruption lead to distorted competition.

The standardized case study


The contracting with the government indicators collect data through a
hypothetical scenario. The standardized case study includes assumptions
about the procuring entity, the bidding company, the contract, and the
­procurement process (table 5.1).
The construction sector was chosen because of its ubiquitous nature.14
Worldwide, construction is a $2 trillion industry, representing between
5% and 7% of GDP in most economies.15 Government investment in road
transport alone accounts for 2.0–3.5% of GDP.16 Because of construction’s
role in development (and its size), corruption in this sector is particularly
harmful. The cost of collusion in the road sector is estimated at up to 60%
of the contract value.17 Roads and other large infrastructure projects are
consistently delivered over budget and over time.18 These overruns range
from 20% above estimates in OECD member economies19 to 135% of ini-
tial funding authorizations in some developing economies.20

What do the data show?


Three measures—the necessary procedures, the associated time, and the
features regulated by the applicable laws—capture various aspects of each
phase of the public procurement life cycle, from budgeting to payment
(­figure 5.1).
• The number of procedures describes a finite number of interactions
between the contractor and various public agencies (the procuring entity,
any governmental office issuing permits, a court, and so on).
• The number of days describes how long those interactions take.
• The legal index benchmarks which aspects of the public procurement
process are regulated by law.

The data show vast differences in how efficient public procurement is


worldwide. Sources of delay are found in every phase.

Needs and budgeting


If procuring entities do not begin the procurement cycle with a needs
assessment, it is unlikely that the process will have a successful outcome.
Overly optimistic budgets from faulty needs assessments result in projects
delivered over budget and over time.21
The way the contract value is estimated varies greatly—from detailed fact-
based analysis to an approximation left in the hands of public officials. In Hong
Kong SAR, China, the procuring entity uses multiple instruments to value
a contract, including market research to make informed decisions on design
options, works implementation programs, cost estimates, and procurement
method. The cost of materials is estimated through a price index established by
the Civil Engineering Society, and similar projects from previous years inform
other cost components. By contrast, procuring entities in Bolivia and Lebanon
do not regulate which data should be used to estimate the contract value.
Another indication of planning adequacy is whether budget resources
need to be secured before a procurement opportunity is advertised. In
many economies, including Poland, a budget allocation is not required to
proceed to the tender stage, suggesting that, when the time comes for the
procuring entity to pay the contractor, funds might not be available. Others
require a budget allocation that ensures that the necessary portion of the
yearly budget is set aside for that particular procurement (as is the case in
Canada and Slovenia, for example). Spain goes even further: in addition
to requiring a budget allocation, the procuring entity must also include a
document certifying the availability of funds in the tender documentation.
Budget planning matters a lot. A recent study of shortcomings in plan-
ning suggests that engineers’ cost estimates are, on average, twice those
provided by the funding authorization.22 An improper needs assessment
results in unnecessary purchases, waste of public funds, and excessive
renegotiations.23 The prospect of scrutiny enhances the level of attentive-
ness demonstrated by public officials.24

Tendering, evaluation, and award


At a minimum, governments need to perform the following six procedures
to award a public contract:
1. Communicate the opportunity to the private sector.
2. Collect the bids.
Contracting with the government 71

3. Open all bids received.


4. Evaluate the bids and award the contract.
5. Sign the contract.
6. Authorize the beginning of the works.
These steps are essential to the awarding of a public contract like the
standardized case study, and they take place everywhere. How rapidly they
are carried out, however, as well as how many additional procedures are
required, results in vast differences in efficiency. The opening of all bids
received, for example, may happen immediately after the submission dead-
line, as in Belgium and South Africa, or may take 20 days, as in Tunisia.
The time to evaluate all bids and choose the winner is about 30 days in
China, Georgia, and Norway, but is more than six months in the Kyrgyz
Republic and Lebanon. Additional steps, such as prequalification, take as
little as 21 days in Canada or as long as 90 days in Indonesia and Pakistan,
and 120 days in Ireland.
Korea—the economy in the sample that awards contracts fastest—­
performs the six necessary procedures in just four months on average
(­figure 5.2). Two additional steps are required: undergoing a prequalifi-
cation process (completed in less than three weeks) and obtaining a bid

72 DOING BUSINESS 2020

security (done simultaneously with the submission of the bid). All in all,
awarding a simple routine contract for road resurfacing in Korea takes
161 days on average.
In other economies, the process is more convoluted. In Greece, for
example, it takes one year to perform the six procedures. The deadline for
submission of the bids is almost twice as long as in Korea (55 compared to
30 days). The evaluation of all bids received takes five months, and back
and forth between contractors and the procuring entity typically delays it
by an additional month. Once the decision is made and all documents are
ready, signing the contract should take place in a matter of days. Instead, it
takes an additional three months because of the need to receive approval
from the Court of Auditors. Once this approval is obtained and the contract
is signed, the contractor still needs to obtain an activity permit and an envi-
ronmental permit before being able to commence the works—taking an
additional month.
Greece grants those permits efficiently. Other economies do not.
Obtaining permits to work on the road (such as occupancy permits, envi-
ronmental permits, or traffic permits, if applicable) takes five months in
the Arab Republic of Egypt and seven months in São Paulo, Brazil. In these
economies, contractors aiming to work on government projects spend
months obtaining permits from public authorities.
Efficiency in awarding public contracts improves the level of competition
and encourages the participation of suppliers.25

Contract amendments, invoicing, and payment


Once the works begin, three procedures are necessary:
1. The contractor needs to let the procuring entity know that the works are
complete.
2. The procuring entity needs to confirm that the works are indeed complete.
3. The contractor needs to receive payment.
Efficiency in carrying out these steps, however, varies tremendously.
Issuing a certificate of completion report takes two weeks or less in Australia,
Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, the Netherlands, and Malaysia; but
contractors are left waiting for more than six months in Italy. Disagreements
between the procuring entity and the contractor on whether the works
were properly performed may significantly delay this approval (by 320 days
in Mongolia and 455 days in República Bolivariana de Venezuela, for exam-
ple). The process does not end there. Despite agreement by both parties,
contractors may have to wait months to obtain payment. In Lebanon, Mali,
and Panama, obtaining payment takes more than six months.
Contract amendments are another source of delays during the execution
of the contract. Although frequent amendments indicate poor planning,
how well the procuring entity handles such amendments is an indication of
efficiency. A simple change order, such as for example a change in materials
that had been provided for in the initial procurement document, delays
Contracting with the government 73

execution of the works by as little as two weeks in Canada and Finland,


or as long as four months in Armenia. A more significant renegotiation
of one or more contract terms delays the process by 135 days in Mexico
City, Mexico, or 180 days in Tanzania. More efficient economies handle this
unexpected occurrence in three weeks (as in Finland and Korea). All in all,
delays in contract execution vary widely across the world. In Ireland, this
phase takes five procedures and 153 days, whereas in Mozambique it takes
eight procedures and 716 days.
Changes in contract terms and values are the most common chan-
nels of corruption in public procurement.26 When the work is complete,
low-quality goods are used to defraud procuring entities.27 The delivery
of substandard (overpaid) works—or a failure to deliver them at all—­
represents the most significant risk of this phase. Occasionally, before the
delivery of subpar goods is detected, officials in the procuring entity may
delay payment for completed works to solicit bribes.28 A lack of transpar-
ency during the invoicing and payment phase leads to misuse of public
funds.

Complaints
Complaints are claims brought against the public administration through-
out the public procurement process. They are brought before or after the
award and may refer to a variety of issues. A potential bidder, for exam-
ple, could argue that the tender documents favor a specific bidder, or
that a costly performance guarantee hinders access by small firms. An
environmental nongovernmental organization could claim that the works
harm a protected species, or that the tender documents do not include
environmental parameters to ensure that they are executed in a sustain-
able manner. Once the contract is awarded, losing bidders could challenge
the grounds of their exclusion or claim that the procuring entity granted
special treatment to the winning bidder. In some cases, raising a com-
plaint might be necessary to ensure fairness in the process. In others, it is
used as a dilatory technique.
Trust in complaints procedures increases participation in the public pro-
curement process, obtaining the best value for money. In turn, inefficient
complaint resolution can stall the award and execution of a simple contract
for years.
There is no minimum set of procedures to determine whether complaints
work efficiently. Instead, the contracting with the government indicator set
measures complaints brought before and after award, and focuses on who
brings these complaints, which authority would have jurisdiction to hear
them, how often they are raised, how long they would take to be resolved,
and whether they suspend the procurement process.
In the Czech Republic, where complaints are usually pursued until
there is no further recourse available (three tiers before contract award
and three tiers after), resolving these complaints takes 330 days on
average (­figure 5.3). Resolving the same complaint in the Dominican

Note: “Pre-award” refers to any challenge raised before the contract is awarded, such as that of a bidder arguing
that the tender documents favor one specific company. “Post-award” refers to any challenge raised after the
contract is awarded, such as by a bidder arguing that one of the evaluation criteria was used arbitrarily by the
procuring entity to reduce the bidder’s final score. Tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 refer to the number of instances such a
challenge would typically undergo.

Republic would take more than four years (1,580 days). Worldwide,
resolving complaints takes longer when courts are involved, and tends to
be more efficient once a dedicated administrative authority is in charge.
In 2011, Tanzania established the Public Procurement Appeals Authority
as an independent and quasi-judicial administrative body to resolve
appeals from challenges against procuring entities in an ­efficient and
specialized manner. As a result, challenges against award decisions are
decided in 41 days, and challenges on tender documents are resolved in
18 days.
The public procurement process is carried out in a similar way around the
world, but its efficiency varies greatly. And efficiency ­matters. Data show
that, on average, economies with more efficient public ­procurement—as
measured by the time it takes to award a contract, manage the unexpected
during execution, obtain payment, and resolve challenges—tend to have
lower perceived levels of corruption (figure 5.4).

Note: The Transparency International Corruption Perception Index 2018 captures perception of public sector

The public procurement time is recorded in calendar days. The sample includes the 85 economies for which
contracting with the government data were finalized as of July 2019. The relationship is significant at the 1%
level after controlling for income per capita.

Summary
The contracting with the government dataset constitutes a one-of-a-
kind repository of comparable data on how the public procurement
process is carried out worldwide. These data inform change. Moreover,
the impact of these reforms goes beyond effective public procurement.
It affects m
­ anagement of public funds, efficiency in their expenditure,
and accountability of public officials. It also fosters innovation in the
delivery of projects, potentially leading to cost savings for governments
worldwide. Along with all other Doing Business indicators, the contracting
with the government dataset will be an important tool for governments
and researchers to design more efficient rules that promote growth and
development.

CHAPTER 6
Ease of doing business
score and ease of doing
business ranking
Doing Business presents results for two aggregate measures:
the ease of doing business score and the ease of doing busi-
ness ranking, which is based on the ease of doing business
score. The ease of doing business ranking compares economies
with one another; the ease of doing business scores bench-
mark economies with respect to regulatory best practice,
showing the proximity to the best regulatory performance on
each Doing Business indicator. When compared across years,
the ease of doing business score shows how much the reg-
ulatory environment for local entrepreneurs in an economy
has changed over time in absolute terms, whereas the ease of
doing ­business ranking shows only how much the regulatory
environment has changed relative to that in other economies.

77
78 DOING BUSINESS 2020

Ease of doing business score


The ease of doing business score measures an economy’s performance with
respect to a measure of regulatory best practice across the entire sample
of 41 indicators for 10 Doing Business topics (the employing workers and
contracting with the government indicators are excluded). For starting a
business, for example, Georgia and New Zealand have the lowest number
of procedures required (1). New Zealand also holds the shortest time to
start a business (0.5 days), whereas Rwanda and Slovenia have the lowest
cost (0.0). Australia, Colombia, and 118 other economies have no paid-in
minimum capital requirement (table 6.1).

Calculation of the ease of doing business score


Calculating the ease of doing business score for each economy involves
two main steps. In the first step individual component indicators are nor-
malized to a common unit where each of the 41 component indicators y
(except for the total tax and contribution rate) is rescaled using the linear
transformation (worst – y)/(worst – best). In this formulation the highest
score represents the best regulatory performance on the indicator across
all economies since 2005 or the third year in which data for the indicator
were collected. Both the best regulatory performance and the worst reg-
ulatory performance are established every five years1 on the basis of the
Doing Business data for the year in which they are established and remain
at that level for the five years regardless of any changes in data in interim
years. Thus an economy may establish the best regulatory performance for
an indicator even though it may not have the highest score in a subsequent
year. Conversely, an economy may score higher than the best regulatory
performance if the economy reforms after the best regulatory performance
is set. For example, the best regulatory performance for the time to get elec-
tricity is set at 18 days. In the Republic of Korea it now takes 13 days to get
electricity, and in the United Arab Emirates it takes just 7 days. Although
the two economies have different times, both economies score 100 on the
time to get electricity because they have exceeded the threshold of 18 days.
For scores on indexes such as the strength of legal rights index or the
quality of land administration index, the best regulatory performance is
set at the highest possible value (although no economy has yet reached
that value in the case of the latter). For the total tax and contribution rate,
consistent with the use of a threshold in calculating the rankings on this
indicator, the best regulatory performance is defined as the total tax and
contribution rate at the 15th percentile of the overall distribution for all
years included in the analysis up to and including Doing Business 2015. For
the time to pay taxes, the best regulatory performance is defined as the
lowest time recorded among all economies that levy the three major taxes:
profit tax, labor taxes and mandatory contributions, and value added tax
(VAT) or sales tax. For the different times to trade across borders, the best
regulatory performance is defined as one hour even though in many econ-
omies the time is less than that.

Ease of doing business score and ease of doing business ranking 81

In the same formulation, to mitigate the effects of extreme outliers in the


distributions of the rescaled data for most component indicators (very few
economies need 700 days to complete the procedures to start a business, but
many need 9 days), the worst performance is calculated after the removal
of outliers. The definition of outliers is based on the distribution for each
component indicator. To simplify the process two rules were defined: the
95th percentile is used for the indicators with the most dispersed distribu-
tions (including minimum capital, number of payments to pay taxes, and
the time and cost indicators), and the 99th percentile is used for number
of procedures. No outlier is removed for component indicators bound by
definition or construction, including legal index scores (such as the depth
of credit information index, extent of disclosure index, and strength of
insolvency framework index) and the recovery rate (figure 6.1).
In the second step for calculating the ease of doing business score, the
scores obtained for individual indicators for each economy are aggregated
through simple averaging into one score, first for each topic and then across
all 10 topics: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting
electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority inves-
tors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving
insolvency. More complex aggregation methods—such as principal compo-
nents and unobserved components—yield a ranking nearly identical to the
simple average used by Doing Business.2 Thus Doing Business uses the simplest
method: weighting all topics equally and, within each topic, giving equal
weight to each of the topic components.3
An economy’s score is indicated on a scale from 0 to 100, where 0 rep-
resents the worst regulatory performance and 100 the best regulatory
performance. All topic ranking calculations and the ease of doing business
ranking calculations are based on scores without rounding.

82 DOING BUSINESS 2020

The difference between an economy’s score in any previous year and


its score in Doing Business 2020 illustrates the extent to which the economy
has changed in its business regulatory environment over time. In any given
year, the score measures how close an economy is to the best regulatory
performance at that time.

Treatment of the total tax and contribution rate


The total tax and contribution rate component of the paying taxes topic
enters the score calculation in a different way than any other indicator. The
score obtained for the total tax and contribution rate is transformed in a
nonlinear fashion before it enters the score for paying taxes. As a result of
the nonlinear transformation, an increase in the total tax and contribution
rate has a smaller impact on the score for the total tax and contribution
rate—and therefore on the score for paying taxes—for economies with a
below-average total tax and contribution rate than it would have had before
this approach was adopted in Doing Business 2015 (line B is smaller than line
A in figure 6.2). For economies with an extreme total tax and contribution
rate (a rate that is very high relative to the average), an increase has a
greater impact on both these scores than it would have had before (line D
is bigger than line C in figure 6.2).
The nonlinear transformation is not based on any economic theory of
an “optimal tax rate” that minimizes distortions or maximizes efficiency in
an economy’s overall tax system. Instead, it is mainly empirical in nature.

ability for each economy’s performance
across the different areas of business regulation covered by Doing Business. The
figure draws attention to economies with a particularly uneven performance
by showing, for each economy, the distance between the average of its highest
three scores and the average of its lowest three across the 10 topics included
in this year’s aggregate ease of doing business score. Whereas a relatively small
distance between these two averages suggests a broadly consistent approach
across the areas of business regulation measured by Doing Business, a rela-
tively large distance suggests a more uneven approach, with greater room for
improvement in some areas than in others.
Variation in performance across topics is not at all unusual. It reflects
differences in the degree of priority that government authorities give to
particular areas of business regulation reform and in the ability of different
government agencies to deliver tangible results in their area of responsibility.

Change in the score gap


Many topics assess the impact of data changes on the basis of the absolute
change in the overall score of the indicator set and the change in the relative
score gap. The change in the score gap—or the distance to the best regulatory
performance—is defined as (scoreprior year – scorecurrent year)/(100 – scoreprior year),
where “score” is the aggregate score for the specific topic. For indicators
using macroeconomic variables, such as the cost of starting a business as a
percentage of income per capita, the macroeconomic data for the prior year
are used to control for exogenous factors such as a change in income per
capita. For example, in 2018/19 Papua New Guinea reduced the time and
cost to trade across borders, resulting in an improvement in its aggregate
score for trading across borders from 60.5 to 65.8. This improved the overall
score by 65.8 – 60.5 or 5.3 points, and reduced the score gap for Papua New
Guinea by (60.5 – 65.8)/(100 – 60.5) or 13.4% on trading across borders
in Doing Business 2020. For a complete discussion of the methodology for
classifying changes as reforms, see the Doing Business website.

Economies improving the most across three or more


Doing Business topics in 2018/19
Doing Business 2020 uses a simple method to calculate which economies
improved the ease of doing business score the most. First, it selects the
economies that in 2018/19 implemented regulatory reforms making it
easier to do business in 3 or more of the 10 topics included in this year’s
aggregate ease of doing business score.4 Forty-two economies meet this
Ease of doing business score and ease of doing business ranking 85

criterion: Armenia; Azerbaijan; The Bahamas; Bahrain; Bangladesh;


Cabo Verde; China; Colombia; the Democratic Republic of Congo;
Djibouti; the Arab Republic of Egypt; Eswatini; Gabon; India; Indonesia;
Israel; Jordan; Kenya; Kosovo; Kuwait; the Kyrgyz Republic; Mauritius;
Moldova; Morocco; Myanmar; Nigeria; Oman; Pakistan; Philippines;
Qatar; the Russian Federation; Rwanda; Saudi Arabia; Serbia; Tajikistan;
Togo; Tunisia; Ukraine; United Arab Emirates; United States; Uzbekistan;
and Zimbabwe. Second, Doing Business sorts these economies on the
increase in their ease of doing business score over the previous year,
and the scores for both years are calculated using the same macroeco-
nomic data (such as income per capita and currency conversion rates) to
remove the effect of changes in these variables.
Selecting the economies that implemented regulatory reforms in at
least three topics and had the biggest improvements in their ease of doing
business scores is intended to highlight economies with ongoing, broad-
based reform programs. The improvement in the ease of doing business
score is used to identify the top improvers because it allows a focus on the
absolute improvement—in contrast with the relative improvement shown
by a change in rankings—that economies have made in their regulatory
­environment for business.

Ease of doing business ranking


The ease of doing business ranking ranges from 1 to 190. The ranking of
economies is determined by sorting the aggregate ease of doing business
scores.

Notes
1. The next update will be published in Doing Business 2021 along with several
other methodological changes such as the introduction of the contracting
with the government indicators.
2. See Djankov and others 2005. Principal components and unobserved
components methods yield a ranking nearly identical to that from the simple
average method because both these methods assign roughly equal weights to
the topics, because the pairwise correlations among topics do not differ much.
An alternative to the simple average method is to give different weights to the
topics, depending on which are considered of more or less importance in the
context of a specific economy.
3. For getting credit and protecting minority investors, indicators are
weighted proportionally, according to their contribution to the total
score. The getting credit indicator weighs 60% assigned to the strength of
legal rights index and 40% to the depth of credit information index. For
protecting minority investors, the extent of disclosure index, the extent
of director liability index, and the ease of shareholder suits index are each
assigned a weight of 20%, whereas the extent of shareholder rights index
86 DOING BUSINESS 2020

has a weight of 12% and the extent of ownership and control index and
the extent of corporate transparency index each weigh 14%. Indicators for
all other topics are assigned equal weights.
4. Changes making it more difficult to do business are subtracted from the total
number of those making it easier to do business.

Summaries of Doing
Business reforms in
2018/19
Doing Business reforms affecting all sets of indicators included in
this year’s study, implemented from May 2018 to May 2019.1

✓ Reform making it easier to do business


× Change making it more difficult to do business

Albania
✓ Getting electricity
Albania increased the reliability of power supply by rolling
out a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
automatic energy management system for the monitoring of

Reforms affecting the employing workers indicators are included


here but do not affect the ranking on the ease of doing business.
For reforms in paying taxes, when an economy introduces a value
added tax or sales tax, the reform is classified as a neutral reform
even though this type of reform increases the administrative burden
on firms. The reforms in paying taxes included in Doing Business 2020
are those implemented in calendar year 2018 (January 1, 2018 to
December 31, 2018).
