Doing Business 2010 is the seventh in a series of annual reports
produced by the World Bank presenting objective indicators on
business regulations and the protection of property rights that can
be compared across 183 economies, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, on
a consistent basis over time.
Regulations affecting 10 stages of a business's life are
measured: starting a business, dealing with construction permits,
employing workers, registering property, getting credit, protecting
investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing
contracts and closing a business.
This is the first time that Cyprus has been included in the
report, and it has made a creditable debut, ranking fortieth of the
183 countries assessed for ease of doing business, comfortably in
the top 25% and just behind the Nordic countries. Cyprus ranks
above the European average in seven out of 10 categories.
The authors of the report commented that this is a successful
first entry, given the increased rate of reform among other
countries during the last year.
