Note: DB2012 rankings shown are not last year’s published rankings but comparable rankings for DB2012 that capture the effects of
such factors as data corrections and the addition of 2 economies (Barbados and Malta) to the sample this year. The ranking
methodology for the paying taxes indicators changed in Doing Business 2013; see the data notes for details. For more information
on “no practice” marks, see the data notes. Data for the outcome of the resolving insolvency indicator are not available for
DB2012.
* Two or more economies share the top ranking on this indicator. A number shown in place of an economy’s name indicates the
number of economies that share the top ranking on the indicator. For a list of these economies, see the Doing Business website
(http://www.doingbusiness.org).
