Note: For resolving insolvency, an economy for which “no practice” is recorded for time and cost receives a score of 0 on the strength of insolvency framework index even if its legal framework includes provisions related to
insolvency proceedings (liquidation or reorganization). Most indicator sets refer to a case scenario in the largest business city of an economy, except for 11 economies for which the data are a population-weighted average
for the 2 largest business cities. See the data notes for more details.
