Rankings on the ease of doing business do not tell the whole story about an economy's business environment. Lhe indicator does not account for all factors important for doing business- for example, macroeconomic conditions, infrastructure, workforce skills or security.

Four Eastern European economies joined Poland in streamlining bankruptcy procedures. Latvia passed a new insolvency law in November 2007. Now financially distressed companies can choose to continue operating by pursuing reorganization. Like Poland, Latvia also tightened the qualification standards for bankruptcy administrators. So did Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Czech Republic's Insolvency Act took effect on January 1, 2008. The law introduces reorganization as the preferred method for resolving insolvency, mandates stricter deadlines, establishes an electronic insolvency register and sets new qualification standards for trustees.
