Doing Business 2015: Libya Summary

Core Content

The Doing Business 2015 report evaluates the ease of doing business in 189 economies, including Libya, by analyzing 11 key areas of business regulation. It provides both rankings and distance to frontier (DTF) scores to assess how regulations compare to the best practices globally.

Key Changes in Methodology

• The ease of doing business ranking and all topic-level rankings are now based on DTF scores.
• For 11 large economies, data for a second city were added to the dataset.
• The methodology for "Getting Credit" was revised, increasing the points in the strength of legal rights index from 10 to 12 and the depth of credit information index from 6 to 8.
• The "Protecting Minority Investors" indicator set was renamed and expanded to include corporate governance aspects.
• The "Resolving Insolvency" indicator now includes a measure of the strength of the legal framework for insolvency.
• The DTF score for "Paying Taxes" is calculated in a nonlinear fashion.
• The "Employing Workers" indicator set was renamed to "Labor Market Regulation" and expanded to include labor disputes and worker benefits.

Key Observations

• Libya's overall ranking in the Doing Business report is 188, indicating a very poor business environment.

• Libya has no practice in several indicators, including starting a business, dealing with construction permits, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, and resolving insolvency.
• The report highlights that while some comparator economies like Algeria and Tunisia have better performance, they still lag behind the global best performers such as New Zealand, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates.
• The methodology updates in 2015 have made the rankings more accurate and comparable across economies, though Libya remains at the bottom in most categories.
• The DTF scores provide a more detailed view of the regulatory environment than the rankings alone, showing how far Libya is from the frontier in each area.
