THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
The absolute values of the indicators tell another part
of the story (table 1.1). The indicators, on their own or
in comparison with the indicators of a good practice
economy or those of comparator economies in the
region, may reveal bottlenecks reflected in large
numbers of procedures, long delays or high costs. Or
they may reveal unexpected strengths in an area of
business regulation—such as a regulatory process that
can be completed with a small number of procedures
in a few days and at a low cost. Comparison of the
economy’s indicators today with those in the previous
year may show where substantial bottlenecks persist—
and where they are diminishing.
