Resumen
Descripción
The little data book on private sector
development coincides with the unfolding of the global
financial crisis. There is strong evidence that crises can
stimulate reform of the investment climate. 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 in spreading equality of opportunity. The
availability of cross-country data on the business
environment has expanded rapidly in recent years, including
data from the World Bank's doing business project and
enterprise surveys. These data show the scope and types of
regulations that enhance and constrain business activity
while providing information on business owners'
assessments of the business environment. Included in this
guide are indicators on the economic and social context, the
business environment, 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.
