Measuring the efficiency and strength of laws, regulations and institutions that are relevant to domestic small and medium-sized companies throughout their life cycle, the report gathers and analyses comprehensive quantitative data to compare business regulation environments across economies and over time. It is aimed at encouraging countries to adopt more effective regulations; offers measurable benchmarks for reform; and serves as a resource for academics, policy makers, private-sector executives and others interested in the business climate of each country.
The Doing Business 2014 Report presents data for 189 economies, including data for the first time on Libya, Myanmar and South Sudan.
Joining the launch of the report in Thailand will be a senior representative of the Public Sector Development Commission (OPDC).
