Independent review of Doing Business index


E. Schizas points us to a very interesting document, the report of the Independent Panel Review of the Doing Businessranking. This review comes at a time when this publication is facing renewed criticism, already reported here (30 May)To try to give an idea that this is well worth checking, here are some of the "concerns" highlighted by the Panel (extracts):
"The Doing Business report has the potential to be misinterpreted"
"The report relies on a narrow information source. "
"The report only measures regulations applicable to categories of business that can be captured through its methodology."
"The report’s data-collection methodology can be improved."
"The report does not provide a tool to enable countries to respond appropriately to low overall ranking."
