This economy profile for Doing Business
2015 presents the 11 Doing Business indicators for the
Syrian Arab Republic. To allow for useful comparison, the
profile also provides data for other selected economies
(comparator economies) for each indicator. Doing Business
2015 is the 12th edition in a series of annual reports
measuring the regulations that enhance business activity and
those that constrain it. Economies are ranked on their ease
of doing business; for 2015 the Syrian Arab Republic ranks
175. A high ease of doing business ranking means the
regulatory environment is more conducive to the starting and
operation of a local firm. Doing Business presents
quantitative indicators on business regulations and the
protection of property rights that can be compared across
189 economies from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and over time.
Doing Business measures regulations affecting 11 areas of
the life of a business known as indicators. Ten of these
areas are included in this year's ranking on the ease
of doing business: starting a business, dealing with
construction permits, getting electricity, registering
property, getting credit, protecting minority investors,
paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts,
and resolving insolvency. Doing Business also measures labor
market regulation, which is not included in this year's
ranking. The data in this report are current as of June 1,
2014 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover
the period from January to December 2013).
