• Rwanda has dropped in the World Bank Ease of Doing Business 2020 ranking to position 38 from 29 after it scored 76.5 from 77.88.
• Mauritius at 13 and Rwanda are the only two African countries ranked in the top 50.
• Kenya jumped to position 56 from 62 with Uganda rising to position 116 from 127, Tanzania is now position 141 from 144 while Burundi jumped to position 166 from 168.

East Africa continues to be an ideal destination for foreign investments after countries in the region posted improvements in facilitating ease of doing business.

Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Burundi saw their positions in the World Bank Ease of Doing Business 2020 ranking improve on the backdrop of reforms geared at making it easy for investors to start a business, get electricity connections, register property and deal with construction permits.

Rwanda, the best performing country on the continent in this ranking over the years, has dropped to position 38 from 29 after it scored 76.5 from 77.88, this being the first time the country has dropped in ranking in the past three years.
Kenya jumped to position 56 from 62 with Uganda rising to position 116 from 127, Tanzania is now position 141 from 144 while Burundi jumped to position 166 from 168.

South Sudan remained at position 185 out of 190 surveyed. Mauritius at 13 and Rwanda are the only two African countries ranked in the top 50.

Despite the drop, Rwanda remains on the path of making the country attractive to investors after it exempted new small- and medium-size enterprises paying trading licence tax in their first two years of operation and reduce water and sewage connection period.

Other reforms include a requirement for constructors to obtain liability insurance on buildings, improving the reliability of power supply by upgrading its power grid infrastructure and changing regulations for workers pertaining to weekly rest, working hours, severance payments, and reemployment priority rules after redundancy dismissals.

New Zealand and Singapore maintained the first and second position for the second year running while China displaced Denmark at number three in the ranking that measures business regulations in 190 countries with the aim of encouraging efficiency and supporting freedom to do business.

The report provides quantitative indicators on regulation for starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving insolvency.

Most improved
In Doing Business 2020, technology has emerged as a central component in facilitating business with countries that scored highest adopting widespread use of electronic systems.

All the 20 top-ranking countries have online business incorporation processes, have electronic tax filing platforms and allow online procedures related to property transfers.

Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Togo, Bahrain, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Kuwait, China, India and Nigeria emerged as the top improvers after implementing a total of 59 regulatory reforms accounting for one-fifth of all the reforms recorded worldwide.
The report shows that sub-Saharan Africa remains one of the weak-performing regions on the ease of doing business index with an average score of 51.8, well below high-income countries at an average of 78.4 and the global average of 63.

The region managed to raise its score by just 1 percentage point in Doing Business 2020, whereas countries in the Middle East and North Africa region raised their average score by 1.9.

The push for improving the business environment in sub-Saharan Africa has become contagious with countries like Nigeria and Togo getting motivation for reforms from neighbours.

Widespread reforms
Rwanda’s progress over the past 10 years for instance has inspired authorities in Kenya and Togo with several Togolese delegations visiting Kigali to learn about successful reforms.

The report shows that Kenya has maintained its stellar rise in the ranking due to widespread reforms that include reducing building permits fees and making them publicly available online, modernising electricity transmission and distribution and property registration was made faster by moving consents to transfer and payment verification online.

Kenya also recorded improvements in strengthening access to credit by introducing online registration, modification and cancellation of security interests and public online searches of collateral registry, protection of minority investors by requiring shareholders to approve the election and dismissal of an external auditor and made paying taxes easier by implementing an online filing and payment system for social security contributions.

The worst-scoring
Uganda has improved the monitoring and regulation of power outages by improving its calculations of the annual system average interruption duration index and system average interruption frequency index.

While Sub-Saharan Africa nations are making progress in making the business environment attractive, a total of 12 countries in the bottom 20 are from the region.

Although the report does not capture corruption and bribery directly, a vice that is rampant in Africa, it reckons that inefficient regulation tends to go hand in hand with rent-seeking.

“There are ample opportunities for corruption in economies where excessive red tape and extensive interactions between private sector actors and regulatory agencies are necessary to get things done,” it observed.
It added that the 20 worst-scoring countries on Transparency International’s corruption perceptions index average eight procedures to start a business and 15 to obtain a building permit.

“When low-income economies achieve higher levels of economic efficiency, they tend to reduce the income gap with more developed ones,” notes the report.

Doing Business 2020: Two Sub-Saharan African Countries among Most Improved in Ease of Doing Business

WASHINGTON, October 24, 2019 – Economies in Sub-Saharan Africa continued to improve their business climates, with the region’s largest economy, Nigeria, earning a place among the year’s top global improvers alongside Togo, according to the World Bank Group’s Doing Businessstudy.
Economies of the region enacted 73 reforms in the 12 months leading to May 1, down from a record high of 108, and the number of countries implementing at least one reform fell to 31 from 40. The regional average ease of doing business score was 51.8 on a scale of 0 to 100, below the OECD high-income average of 78.4 and the global average of 63.0.
There were several bright spots in the region. Togo is on the list of top improvers for the second year in a row thanks to reforms lowering fees for construction permits and streamlining property registration procedures, among other measures. Nigeria conducted reforms impacting six indicators, including making the enforcement of contracts easier, which placed the 200-million-person economy among the world’s top improvers.
Kenya also carried out six reforms, including improving the reliability of its electricity supply and introducing an online system for social security contributions, positioning it third highest in the regional rankings, behind Mauritius and Rwanda. With four reforms implemented this year, Mauritius remains the easiest place to do business in the region, ranking 13th globally. Among other reforms, the country made resolving insolvency easier and improved contract enforcement.
Elsewhere, Cabo Verde and Eswatini each carried out four reforms, a record for both. Zimbabwe improved in five areas measured by Doing Business while the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon and Rwanda advanced in three. Due to active reform efforts, Niger’s and Senegal’s scores improved significantly.
The region conducted the most reforms in the areas of starting a business, dealing with construction permits and getting credit, with twelve reforms in each. Thanks to initiatives led by the Central African Economic and Monetary Community, getting credit became easier in several economies in the region.
The region’s economies performed best in the areas of starting a business and getting credit, with three economies – Kenya, Rwanda and Zambia – ranking among the world’s top 10 in the latter category. On average, it now takes around 20 days and costs 33.5% of income per capita to start a new business in the region, substantially faster and less expensive than the 62 days and 305% of income per capita it took in 2003.
“With reforms led by the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa last year and the Central African Economic and Monetary Community this year, economies in Sub-Saharan Africa have demonstrated how regional cooperation can help to effectively improve the business climate,” said Santiago Croci Downes, Program Manager of the Doing Business unit.
Despite advancements, the pace of reforms across the region has slowed overall, and there is scope to improve performance, reform impact, and implementation. Only two Sub-Saharan African economies rank in the top 50 on the ease of doing business rankings while most of the bottom 20 economies in the global rankings are from the region. South Africa implemented a single reform this year and four in the past five years. Liberia has implemented only three reforms in the past five years, while Burundi, the Central African Republic and Namibia have implemented only four.
Compared to other parts of the world, Sub-Saharan Africa still underperforms in several areas. In getting electricity, for example, businesses must pay more than 3,100% percent of income per capita to connect to the grid, compared to just over 400% in the Middle East and North Africa or 272% percent in Europe and Central Asia. When it comes to trading across borders and paying taxes, businesses spend about 96 hours to comply with documentary requirements to import, versus 3.4 hours in OECD high-income economies, and small and medium-size businesses in their second year of operation need to pay taxes more than 36 times a year, compared to an average of 23 times globally.

Pole Kenya! Hii ripoti ni ya kipindi kinachoishia may 2019! It is now an outdated report! We are now in 2020 with a new report ie post covid 19 period. Kenya kwa Sasa ni sawa na mtu aliyekuwa tajiri na Sasa amefilisika kwa hiyo anakumbukia enzi yake. Tanzania was a sleeping giant and now he is awake. Ripoti ya Sasa ni hii hapa:
TANZANIA imetajwa kufanikiwa katika kuweka mazingira mazuri ya kufanikisha biashara kuliko nchi yoyote katika Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki (EAC).

Ripoti ya Benki ya Dunia tawi la Afrika kuhusu mazingira na urahisi wa kufanya biashara katika nchi za Afrika Mashariki kabla na wakati wa janga la virusi vya corona, iliyotolewa mwishoni mwa wiki iliyopita, ilisema katika kipindi cha kuanzia mwaka 2019 virusi vya corona vilipoanza kuisumbua dunia hadi Juni, mwaka huu, Tanzania imefanikiwa kuimarisha mazingira ya ufanyaji biashara kwa kiwango kikubwa.

Alama zilizotolewa katika mataifa ya Afrika Mashariki yaliyoshirikishwa katika ripoti hiyo ambayo ni Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda na Rwanda, Tanzania ambalo ndilo taifa kubwa kuliko yote katika ukanda huo, ilipata alama za juu katika kila kipengele ikilinganishwa na mataifa mengine.

Vipengele vilivyoshindanishwa katika ripoti hiyo iliyopewa jina ‘Uchumi wa Tanzania na athari za covid- 19’, ni uanzishaji wa biashara, mazingira ya utolewaji wa vibali vya biashara, upatikanaji wa nishati kwa ajili ya biashara, kuwezesha wawekezaji wadogo, ulipaji wa kodi, urahisi wa kufanya biashara nje ya mipaka ya nchi na kulinda mikataba.

Kwa upande wa kipengele cha uanzishwaji wa biashara, ripoti hiyo ilisema Tanzania ndiyo nchi yenye mazingira bora kwa wafanyabiashara kuanzisha biashara zao bila kuwa na wasiwasi wa usalama.

Katika kipengele hiki Tanzania ilipata alama 162, Uganda ikifuatia kwa alama 160, Kenya alama 105 na Rwanda alama 35.

Katika kipengele cha mazingira ya upatikanaji wa vibali, Tanzania ilipata alama 149 ikiziacha nchi nyingine zote kwa mbali. Uganda ilipata alama 113, Kenya alama 105 na Rwanda alama 81.

Kipengele cha upatikanaji wa umeme Tanzania imeongoza kwa kupata alama 67, ikifuatiwa na Kenya yenye alama nne, huku Rwanda nayo ikipata alama nne na Uganda ni ya mwisho.

Tanzania inatarajiwa kuongoza mara dufu katika kipengele hiki, baada ya kukamilika ujenzi wabwawa kubwa la uzalishaji umeme la Nyerere na kuanza kutumika kutoa megawati 2,150 za nishati hiyo muhimu.

Kwa upande wa ulipaji wa kodi, Tanzania imeongoza kwa kishindo, ikiziacha mbali nchi nyingine washindani katika Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki.

Katika kipengele hicho, Tanzania imepata alama 165, ikifuatiwa na Kenya alama 94, Uganda alama 92 na Rwanda alama 38.

Aidha katika kipengele cha biashara nje ya mipaka, Tanzania imeonekana kukubalika hasa kwa bidhaa zake kutokana na kuchomoza ya kwanza kufanya biashara kwa wingi nje ya mipaka yake.

Katika sehemu hii Tanzania imapata alama 182, ikifuatiwa na Uganda alama 82, huku Kenya ikishika nafasi ya tatu kwa bidhaa zake kuvuka mipaka na kuuzwa katika nchi nyingine baada ya kupata alama 117 na Rwanda alama 88.

Katika kipengele cha kulinda mikataba, Tanzania imeongoza kwa kupata alama 71 ikifuatiwa na Uganda iliyopata alama 70, ikifuatiwa na Kenya na Rwanda.

Kutokana na vigezo hivyo, Tanzania imeorodhedhwa ya kwanza na Benki ya Dunia kwa kuwa na mazingira bora kabisa ya ufanyaji wa biashara kuliko nchi zingine za Afrika ya mashariki.
