Paraguay Economy Profile - Doing Business 2016

Core Content

The Doing Business 2016 report provides a detailed analysis of the regulatory environment for businesses in Paraguay, comparing it with other economies across 11 key areas of business regulation. These areas include starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, resolving insolvency, and labor market regulation. The report uses two main metrics: the Distance to Frontier (DTF) score and the Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) ranking.

The DTF score measures the absolute distance of an economy from the best practices in each area, while the EoDB ranking reflects how an economy compares to others in terms of regulatory quality and efficiency. Paraguay's DTF score and EoDB ranking are updated for 2016, and the report also includes data from 2015 for comparison.
