How does
Doing Business
collect data?
• The
Doing Business
data are based on domestic laws, regulations as well as administrative
requirements. For several indicators cost, time and procedures components are based on
actual practice rather than the law on the books.
• To collect data for these indicators the
Doing Business
project works with legal practitioners or
professionals who regularly undertake the transactions involved, including lawyers,
accountants, judges, engineers, architects, business people and public officials.

measure all aspects of the business environment such as security,
macro-economic stability, prevalence of bribery and corruption, level of training and skills of
the labor force, proximity to markets, regulations specific to foreign investment or the state of
the financial system.
