Conclusion

The Doing Business 2017 report highlights the challenges Burkina Faso faces in its business environment, particularly in areas like getting electricity, paying taxes, and enforcing contracts.

The inclusion of a gender dimension and new indicators provides a more nuanced understanding of the regulatory environment, aiding policymakers in identifying areas for reform.
