A better investment climate makeseconomic adjustment easier and helps attract capital tocreate jobs and provide basic services. Well functioningfinance markets and a robust private sector are critical inincreasing productivity and growth and spreading equality ofopportunity.

These data sources report onthe scope and types of regulations that enhance, andconstrain, business activity and provide information onbusiness owners' assessments of the businessenvironment. The data have led to new research, enabledbenchmarking, and informed the reform process in manydeveloping countries.
