Which one of the following is not a sub-index of the World Bank’s ‘Ease of Doing Business Index’?

  1. A.Maintenance of law and order
  2. B.Paying taxes
  3. C.Registering property
  4. D.Dealing with construction permits
▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: A. Maintenance of law and order

The Ease of Doing Business Index evaluates economies based on ten indicators, which are then used to calculate the overall ease of doing business score. These indicators include areas like starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving insolvency. Maintaining law and order, while crucial for a conducive business environment, is not explicitly measured as a distinct sub-index within this particular World Bank report.
