The objective of the project is to help countries attract investment, boost employment and productivity to accelerate development. “‘Business Ready’ improves on and replaces the previous ‘Doing Business’ project of the World Bank Group.

The new approach allows a more complete and clear measurement of the investment climate of countries, something very necessary in a world economy in a context of general slowdown. “Business Ready” was developed based on recommendations from experts from the World Bank, States, the private sector and civil society groups.
