Core Content

The Doing Business 2016 report evaluates the regulatory environment for small to medium-sized businesses across 189 economies, focusing on 11 key areas such as starting a business, getting electricity, and resolving insolvency. The report provides a ranking and a "distance to frontier" (DTF) score to measure regulatory quality and efficiency. For Libya, the report highlights its performance in these areas and compares it with other economies in the Middle East and North Africa region and globally.

• Distance to Frontier (DTF) Score: Libya scores 31.77 in 2016, a slight decline from 31.99 in 2015.
• Methodology Updates: The 2016 edition includes new indicators and revised methodologies for several topics, such as:
  • Starting a Business: Added index of procedures and time.
  • Dealing with Construction Permits: Includes building regulation quality and implementation.
  • Getting Electricity: Measures price, reliability, and tariff transparency.

Conclusion

Libya faces significant challenges in most business regulatory areas, particularly in starting a business, dealing with construction permits, registering property, getting credit, and resolving insolvency, where it scores the lowest or has no practice. While it performs slightly better in paying taxes and trading across borders, it still lags behind many regional and global benchmarks. The report emphasizes that the DTF score provides a more accurate reflection of regulatory improvements over time than the ranking, which is relative. The data suggest that Libya's regulatory environment is not conducive to business growth and requires substantial reforms to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
