CSIS Panel: "Fifteen Years of Doing Business: Opportunities for Future Directions"
/Dr. Juan Jose Daboub was invited to the panel, "Fifteen Years of Doing Business: Opportunities for Future Directions” at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington, D.C. to discuss the future of the Doing Business Index. This year marks the fifteen-year anniversary of the Doing Business Index, which is a program that looks at various countries' economies and ranks them on their ease of starting and continuing a formal business.
Since its inception, the Doing Business Indicators have been under scrutiny with various adjustments made to them over the past few years. On Thursday, February 22, 2018, CSIS held a panel to discuss the accomplishments, controversies, and future of the Doing Business Indicators.
In the panel, Dr. Daboub talked about how the indicators were one of many resources that helped him when he was the Minister of Finance of El Salvador.
