• Expanded Coverage: For the first time, Somalia is included in the report, bringing the total number of economies to 190.
• Comparative Analysis: The report provides comparator economies for each indicator, allowing for more detailed analysis and benchmarking.
• Gender Dimension: This year, the report measures the starting a business process for both men and women, highlighting potential differences in regulatory procedures. For example, women may face additional steps like obtaining a husband's consent or meeting gender-specific requirements.

Conclusion

The Doing Business 2017 report highlights that Algeria has a relatively challenging business environment, particularly in areas such as starting a business, getting electricity, and getting credit.

Policymakers can use these indicators to design targeted reforms and improve the overall regulatory environment for businesses.
