Percentage of firms identifying business licensing and permits as major constraint. The computation of the indicator is based on the rating of the obstacle as a potential constraint to the current operations of the establishment.
* Due to differences in scales used in the ECA countries in 2002 and 2005 (four points) and those used in the 2008 surveys (five points) indicators based on business constraints questions are not fully comparable. End users are encouraged to keep this in mind when analyzing historical trends.
