• The report includes a gender dimension in four indicators: starting a business, registering property, enforcing contracts, and labor market regulation.
• The distance to frontier (DTF) score is used to measure how far an economy is from the best regulatory practices.
• The ease of doing business ranking compares economies based on the DTF score.
• The report also provides comparator economies for each indicator to enable useful comparisons.
• The methodology has limitations and does not account for all factors that affect the business environment, such as proximity to large markets, infrastructure quality, and macroeconomic conditions.
• The data set includes 48 economies in Sub-Saharan Africa, 32 in Latin America and the Caribbean, 25 in East Asia and the Pacific, 25 in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, 20 in the Middle East and North Africa, 8 in South Asia, and 32 OECD high-income economies.

Conclusion

Eritrea ranks 189 out of 190 economies in the ease of doing business ranking and has a DTF score of 28.05. The report highlights significant challenges in the business environment, particularly in areas such as getting credit, dealing with construction permits, and resolving insolvency. The inclusion of a gender dimension in several indicators adds a new layer of analysis to the report. The report serves as a valuable tool for policymakers to identify areas for reform and to benchmark their regulatory environment against other economies.
