Please join us for a conference to mark the 10-year anniversary of the Doing Business Initiative at the World Bank. The Doing Business Initiative was launched in 2002 to measure regulations applied to domestic small and medium-size enterprises throughout the world.It encourages a culture of competition among countries to implement more efficient regulation and suggests quantifiable standards for reform.

"Doing Business" is at a critical moment at the Bank this year, with a review panel slated to assess the results of the initiative. The ranking system and methodology will come under scrutiny as a useful tool to measure a country’s overall business environment. The initiative has been integral to sparking reform efforts in countries where "ease of doing business" continues to suffer.
