Subnational and regional Doing Business reports capture differences in business regulations and their enforcement across locations in a single country or region. They provide data on the ease of doing business, rank each location, and recommend reforms to improve performance in each of the indicator areas. Select from over 183 economies, either by country or region. Compare rankings in starting a business, construction permits, registering property and enforcing contracts. This website lets you download subnational and regional Doing Business data, reports, and the ranking simulator to assess the impact of the reforms.
