WB: Doing Business - Egypt tops reform
Well, I am most surprised: as Egypt, despite the Shrimp Eater tops the easing business race as measured by World Bank, which is to say that it's undertaken more operational reforms to make your average small business set up and running moderately less of a nightmare. I note also that there is a short and useful profile of MENA regional reforms available on this page as well as other regions.
Egypt, well given the coverage of this initial data release I have to congratulate WB with coming up with the benchmarking idea. Very useful, cross comparative (as in "what, Egypt is doing better than us" is useful. Above all as much signs of backsliding on liberalisation in the Maghreb stomping grounds (and Libya, who the bloody hell knows...)).
As usual, MENA is most remarkable for showing less movement than it should.
If time permits I may try a section by section discussion from my operator's point of view. Meanwhile much work.
