Doing Business 2017: Kenya Summary

Core Content

Doing Business 2017 is a World Bank Group flagship report that evaluates the ease of doing business across 190 economies. It measures and tracks changes in regulations affecting 11 areas in the business life cycle, including starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, resolving insolvency, and labor market regulation. The report highlights the regulatory environment and provides data for Kenya and comparator economies to support policy analysis and reform.

Main Points

Methodology: The report includes new dimensions such as a gender component in some indicators and a pilot indicator on selling to the government. It also expands the paying taxes indicator to include postfiling processes.
Data Coverage: The data for Kenya are current as of June 1, 2016, except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period January–December 2015.
Key Metrics: The report uses two main metrics:
- Distance to Frontier (DTF) Score: A scale from 0 to 100, where 0 is the worst performance and 100 is the best.
- Ease of Doing Business Ranking: A global ranking from 1 to 190, indicating how easy it is to run a business in an economy.
Focus on Kenya: Kenya's ranking and DTF scores are compared with those of other selected economies, including Botswana, Mauritius, Namibia, Rwanda, Tanzania, and the United Kingdom.
