Abstract
The paper includes figures for each of the countries for which data are available as well as the first country specific results of a world wide survey of obstacles to doing business perceived by executives in 74 countries (including several industrial countries for comparison). The rationale for this publication is that standard UN national accounts do not break investment down between public, private, rather they distinguish between central government and all other investment, and the latter includes investments by state-owned enterprises. The IFC discussion papers pull together information provided by the national organizations, World Bank and IMF economists in order to estimate levels of private investment.
