Izveštaj Svetske banke o poslovanju za 2016. godinu (Doing Business 2016) konačno je potvrdio da se sa strukturnim promenama može poboljšati prvo poslovni ambijent u ekonomiji, a potom i rang na svetskoj listi. Najpovoljniji, do sada, rezultat Srbije (rang 59 od 189 zemalja) je ohrabrujući iskorak za buduće ulagače, jer je poslovni ambijenti godinama unazad bio neatraktivan. Ovim izveštajem Srbija nije, kao za 2015-tu, najlošije pozicionirana evropska zemlja.
Srbija konačno na zavidno visokom nivou poslovanja sa rangom 59. Rezultat je daleko bolji nego 2015. godine (rang 91). Najveći napredak ostvaren ja na polju izdavanja dozvola za građevinarstvo (rang 139), plaćanje poreza (rang 143), zaštita malih investitora (rang 32) elektrifikacija (rang 63). Značajno je i to što su je unapređena spoljnotrgovinska razmena (smanjeni potrebni dani i troškovi izvoza/uvoza). Problemi jedino ostali kod registracije imovine(rang 73) i odobravanja kredita (rang 59).
Kreatori ekonomske vlasti umereno su dozirali reforme što je dalo rezultat. Zakonska regulativa trebala bi da ima za cilj obezbeđivanje još jednostavnijeg, tržišnog i fer poslovanja unutar privrede, i podsticanja odobravanja kredita MSP. Samo dodatnim naporima moguće je zadržati poziciju i u narednim godinama.
Ostaje i dalje da srpsko tržište za investitora nije privlačno, jer mu je za građevinsku dozvolu potrebno 272 dana, uz 18 različitih procedura, a da bi registorovao imovinu potrebna su mu čak 54 dana. Takođe, vreme kao važan resurs nepotrebno se troši na plaćanje poreskih dažbina (244 sata godišnje), kao i za dugotrajne trgovinske sporove (635 dana). Jedine prednosti ogledaju se u brzini osnivanja preduzeća (mada bi i to moglo biti brže), visokom stepenu zaštite imovine, i relativno brzom otklanjanju problema nesolventnosti unutar privrede.
Važno je napomenuti da napredovanje na listi ne znači samo dobre rezultate strukturnih reformi u zemlji, što je ovoga puta Srbija postigla, već i loši rezultati ostalih zemalja.

The World Bank report on business conditions for 2016 (Doing Business 2016) confirmed that structural reforms can first improve the business environment in an economy and subsequently enhance its ranking on the global list. Serbia’s most favorable result so far (59th out of 189 countries) represents an encouraging step forward for future investors, as the business environment had been unattractive for years. With this report, Serbia was no longer the lowest-ranked European country, as it had been in 2015.
Serbia finally reached a relatively high level of business performance with a ranking of 59, a significant improvement compared to 2015 (rank 91). The greatest progress was achieved in dealing with construction permits (rank 139), paying taxes (rank 143), protecting minority investors (rank 32), and getting electricity (rank 63). It is also significant that foreign trade procedures were improved through reduced time and costs for exports and imports. The main remaining problems were in property registration (rank 73) and getting credit (rank 59).
Economic policymakers implemented reforms in a moderate and carefully balanced manner, which yielded positive results. Legal regulations should aim to ensure even simpler, more market-oriented, and fair business operations, as well as to encourage credit approval for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Only through additional efforts will it be possible to maintain this position in the coming years.
Nevertheless, the Serbian market remains relatively unattractive to investors. Obtaining a construction permit requires 272 days and 18 different procedures, while property registration takes 54 days. A considerable amount of time is spent on paying taxes (244 hours annually) and resolving lengthy commercial disputes (635 days). The main advantages lie in the speed of company establishment (although it could be faster), a high level of property protection, and relatively efficient insolvency resolution.
It is important to note that advancement on the ranking list does not only reflect successful structural reforms in the country – as Serbia achieved this time – but also weaker results of other countries.
