Drawing on new applied research and existing expert commentary, as well as lessons from extensive World Bank Group (WBG) work, the Doing Business report will help identify specific regulations that constrain business investment, productivity, and growth. The Report will contribute to broader initiatives to monitor development effectiveness by providing new, quantitative indicators on business regulations and their enforcement, which can be compared across 110 countries and over time. It will also provide a mechanism to integrate the many perspectives on the business climate, from both within and outside of the WBG.
