Economy Profile: Kyrgyz Republic - Doing Business 2013

Core Content Overview

The Doing Business 2013 report evaluates the regulatory environment for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Kyrgyz Republic and compares it with other economies. The report measures 11 key areas of business regulation and provides insights into how easy or difficult it is for entrepreneurs to start and operate a business, with a focus on procedures, time, cost, and legal requirements.

The Kyrgyz Republic ranks 70th out of 185 economies in the Ease of Doing Business Index in 2013, a slight decline from its 2012 rank of 69. This ranking is based on the simple average of percentile rankings across the 10 topics included in the index. The employing workers topic is excluded from the aggregate ranking but is still included in the economy profile.

The report also introduces the Distance to Frontier measure, which evaluates how far an economy is from the best practices in each of the 9 Doing Business indicator sets. This helps assess the progress and potential for reform in specific areas.
