Transition to policy and institutions that foster growth
Benchmark institutional performance (Doing Business helps)
Identify weaknesses and bottlenecks (Doing Business helps)
Study international good practices (Doing Business helps)
Overcome vested interests
Start with partial reforms, which may lead to a virtuous reform cycle
Successful reforms are sometimes heterodox (China, Korea, Vietnam, …)
Continuous reform

Main Findings
Developing countries have more regulations than do developed countries. Reform is continuous in most developed countries, not so in developing ones.
Burdensome regulation frequently results in inferior economic and social outcomes
Many reforms that are undertaken in developed countries can be implemented in developing countries too.

Finding #1
Poor countries regulate business the most checks and balances in government are the
weakest the possibility of using regulation to harass
entrepreneurs and extract bribes is the
highest

Finding #2
Heavier regulation generally brings bad economic and social outcomes Longer delays and higher cost of public
services; more unemployed people, higher corruption, less productivity and investment
Not better quality of private or public goods
Disadvantaged groups suffer the most

Impact of Credit Information Bureaus on Firm’s Access to Finance
Note: Figure shows the impact of information sharing on the percent of firm finance from formal sources, controlling for income, rule of law, firm ownership, age, sector and size. The effect of information sharing is significant at the 1% level in each case, and the effect of small firms in poor countries is significantly different from the full sample.

Finding #3
One size often fits all – in the manner of business regulation Good practices can be transferred from one
country to another Good practices exist in poor countries
