Summary of Doing Business 2018: Algeria

Core Content

The Doing Business 2018 report by the World Bank Group evaluates the regulatory environment for businesses across 190 economies, focusing on key areas such as starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving insolvency. The report also includes labor market regulation indicators.

The report uses a standardized methodology to ensure data comparability. It measures the "distance to frontier" (DTF), which represents how far an economy is from the best practices observed globally. A DTF score of 0 indicates the lowest performance, while 100 represents the frontier. The ease of doing business ranking ranges from 1 to 190, with 1 being the best.
