World Bank Group issues Business Rankings relating to the Ease of Doing Business in Any Country : Startups, Taxes, Property, Contracts

How conducive in any country is the regulatory environment for starting a business and for doing business? How about taxes, property, and contracts?

The World Bank Group gives us a guide to answer such questions through their newly released Doing Business Economy Rankings, where, for example, the United States ranks 3rd overall in the world and Germany 25th.

The rankings can also be customized in output by region, population and income.

Hat tip to Dr. Marlena Corcoran for her comment about these rankings at the German American ExecuNet at LinkedIn.
