Phnom Penh, Cambodia, September 10, 2008 - Cambodia has moved up 15 places in Doing Business 2009, a report published today by IFC and the World Bank, that compares the ease of doing business around the world. Cambodia’s significantly higher standing is the result of reforms that make it easier for businesses to get credit and to close a business. While much progress remains to be done in several areas, the report names Cambodia as the world’s top reformer in easing access to credit.

Doing Business 2009, which compares 181 economies, uses 10 indicators of business regulation: (1) starting a business, (2) dealing with construction permits, (3) employing workers, (4) registering property, (5) getting credit, (6) protecting investors, (7) paying taxes, (8) trading across borders, (9) enforcing contracts, and (10) closing a business.
