The Doing Business data highlight theimportant role of the government and government policies inthe day-to-day life of domestic small and medium-size firms.The objective is to encourage regulations that are designedto be efficient, accessible to all who use them and simplein their implementation. Where regulation is burdensome andcompetition limited, success tends to depend on whom oneknows. But where regulation is efficient, transparent andimplemented in a simple way, it becomes easier for aspiringentrepreneurs to compete on an equal footing and to innovateand expand. In this sense Doing Business values good rulesas a key to social inclusion. Enabling growth, and ensuringthat all people, regardless of income level, can participatein its benefits, requires an environment where new entrantswith drive and good ideas can get started in business andwhere good firms can invest and grow, thereby creating morejobs. Doing Business was designed with 2 main types of usersin mind: policy makers and researchers. Doing Business is atool that governments can use to design sound policies forthe creation of firms and jobs. But this tool should not beused in isolation. Doing Business provides a richopportunity for benchmarking by capturing key dimensions ofregulatory regimes. Nevertheless, the Doing Business dataare limited in scope and should be complemented with othersources of information.
