Methodology and Notes

• The report includes data from 190 economies, with Moldova's data current as of June 1, 2016, except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period January–December 2015.
• The report does not include labor market regulation in the aggregate ease of doing business ranking, but the data is presented in the economy profile.
• The methodology has been updated to include postfiling processes in the paying taxes indicator and a new pilot indicator on selling to the government.

Conclusion

Moldova has made some progress in improving its business environment, as reflected in its improved ranking and DTF score. However, it still lags behind many comparator economies in areas such as enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency. The introduction of the gender component in several indicators highlights the importance of ensuring equal opportunity for all entrepreneurs and workers. The report provides a valuable tool for policymakers to identify areas for reform and track progress over time.
