The report from the World Bank and IFC compares indicators on business
regulations and their enforcement across 178 countries. Published annually,
Doing Business reports analyze government regulations that enhance business
activity and those that constrain it, ranking countries on their ease of doing
business.  Top reformers are identified and best practices in how to reform are
highlighted. This year?s report, the fourth to be published in the series,
presents a new analysis of 50 regulatory reform case studies. Kenya was ranked
among top ten reformers globally.
