The 12 most pro-business countries in the world
This year's Ease of Doing Business report by the World Bank puts the UK above many of the world's leading economies, including Germany and France, and the ease of starting a business has actually improved.
The ranking uses 11 indicators to measure aspects of business regulation across 190 countries worldwide. Of the top 20 economies in the list, 14 are high-income OECD economies.
However, many countries are implementing significant reforms: India is one of the top ten to have improved most this year, although it still ranks 100th. Sub-Saharan Africa now has the widest variation in performance across the countries ranked: while Mauritius comes in 25th place, Somalia is 190th.
