Good Practices

Many economies have the advantage today of being able to learn from the experience of others. To help identify such opportunities, Doing Business is making available the list of economies that have adopted the many good practices identified over the last few years. Good practices around the world provide insights into how governments have improved the regulatory environment in the past in the areas measured by Doing Business. For more information on what has worked and and why in 10 areas of business regulation, please see the topic pages.
