Doing Business 2017: Summary of Montenegro

Core Content

The Doing Business 2017 report provides an overview of the regulatory environment for small and medium-sized businesses in Montenegro. It evaluates 11 key areas of business regulation and compares Montenegro's performance with other economies in the region and globally. The report does not include labor market regulation in its aggregate ranking but presents the data in the economy profile.

Main Topics and Indicators

The report focuses on the following 10 indicators:

1. Starting a Business
2. Dealing with Construction Permits
3. Getting Electricity
4. Registering Property
5. Getting Credit
6. Protecting Minority Investors
7. Paying Taxes
8. Trading across Borders
9. Enforcing Contracts

Each indicator is assessed using a Distance to Frontier (DTF) score and a Rank. The DTF score measures how close an economy is to the best regulatory practices, while the rank shows how it compares with other economies.
