Uses and Abuses of Doing Business Indicators |
| Topic(s) |
Business Environment, Doing Business, Indicators |
| Summary |
The World Bank's Doing Business Reports are one of the most exciting developments in years for business environment reforms. Although the rankings can be controversial, they are, in the end, effective at inspiring and prioritizing needed reforms. The use of the indicators, however, is often beset by poor understanding, leading to misuse. Doing Business numbers reflect symptoms of underlying problems, but do not diagnose the actual problems nor the cure. Better understanding of the role of the indicators - and the nature of business - permits more effective reforms. |
