Abstract

The World Bank annually ratings in terms of improving the business environment of 190 countries, surveying private sector activists in each country, indicating ease of starting, maintaining and expanding business. The overall policies of the system, such as employment general policies, general policies of national production, support for the Iranian labor and capital, and Sixth Development Plan General Policies have emphasized the improvement of business conditions and the promotion of Iran's position. In this regard, this paper, by documentary method and based on World Bank's 2020 Doing Business Report, Iran's position in each of its sub-indices and components is compared with the first world countries and region in the same sub-index. Based on the results of the research, it was found that the major problem of Iran is related to the time and the number of stages of obtaining business licenses and the legal force of business rights. Based on the results of the research ، the proposed strategies are presented in two areas: reduction of administrative bureaucracy and legal changes.
