/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The World Bank released its annual Doing Business
2008 ranking of the ease of doing business in 178 economies.

A high ranking on the ease of doing business index means the regulatory
environment is conducive to the operation of business. This index
averages the country’s percentile rankings on 10 topics, made up of
a variety of indicators, giving equal weight to each topic.

Georgia, ranking 18, is leading among the CIS member states. The
country intensified protection of investors and passed a new law
on bankruptcy. It also speeded up the issue of permissions for
construction works and simplified registration of property rights.

Armenia is the 39th with establishing a new private credit bureau
and launching a new e-system of data exchange for customs officers.

Macroeconomic policy, infrastructure quality, currency fluctuations
and crime level are not taken into account.
