Conclusion

The Doing Business 2017 report provides a comprehensive overview of Uruguay’s business environment, highlighting areas of strength and weakness. While Uruguay shows some improvement in DTF scores, it still faces challenges in several key areas, particularly in construction permits, tax compliance, and minority investor protection. The inclusion of a gender dimension adds a new layer of analysis, helping to identify gender-specific regulatory barriers. Policymakers can use this report to benchmark their country against others and to design targeted reforms to improve the business environment.
