It provides a comparative analysis of Ukraine's performance against other economies and benchmarks the regulatory environment against the "frontier" or best practices. The report also outlines methodological changes introduced in 2015, including the use of distance to frontier (DTF) scores, the inclusion of additional comparator economies, and adjustments to several indicators.
