Resumen
Descripción
The global financial crisis has led to
rising interest in private sector development and economic
growth. There is strong evidence that crises can stimulate
investment climate reform. A better investment climate makes
economic adjustment easier and helps attract capital to
create jobs and provide basic services. Well functioning
finance markets and a robust private sector are critical in
increasing productivity and growth and spreading equality of
opportunity. The availability of cross-country data on the
business environment has rapidly expanded in recent years,
including data from the World Bank's doing business
project and enterprise surveys. These data sources report on
the scope and types of regulations that enhance, and
constrain, business activity and provide information on
business owners' assessments of the business
environment. The data have led to new research, enabled
benchmarking, and informed the reform process in many
developing countries. Included in this guide are indicators
on the economic and social context, the investment climate,
private sector investment, finance and banking, and
infrastructure. Though a pocket guide cannot include all
relevant variables, the indicators that are included provide
users with a general understanding of the private sector in
each country. Indicators displayed in the tables are defined
in the glossary, which also lists data sources.
