Izveštaj Svetske banke o poslovanju za 2017. godinu (Doing Business 2017) pokazuje kontinuitet u napredovanju Srbije na poslovnoj rang listi. Kao rezultat navode se strukturne promene kojima se poboljšao poslovni ambijent u ekonomiji. Najpovoljniji, do sada, rezultat Srbije (rang 47 od 190 zemalja) trebao bi biti ohrabrujući iskorak za buduće ulagače, posebno u uslovima kada Vlada nastavlja sa praksom davanja po random mestu.
Rangovi pokazuju da je unapređeno poslovno okruženje za lokalne privrednike. Za napredak su najviše zaslužne tri komponente – izdavanje građevinskih dozvola (156 dana), registracija imovine (21 dan) i započinjanje biznisa (potrebno 7 dana).
U region Srbija ipak nije najviše napredovala. Albanija pokazuje skok od 32 pozicije, dok Srbija za 7, a Makeodnija za 6 pozicija. Ostale zemlje regiona su nazadovale na rang listi (Hrvatska za 4 pozicije, Crna Gora za 3 pozicije, BiH za 2 pozicije). Makedonija je najbolje rangirana na, 10 poziciji, dok je najlošije rangirana BiH na 81 poziciji.
Ostaje problem sto je Srbija slabije napredovala mereno DTF poenima (olakšano poslovanje investitorima) za 2,59 poena, što je lošiji rezultat nego prethodne godine (3,16). Srbija je najgori rezultat postigla u lakoći uvođenja struje u objekte (92. pozicija), dok je period čekanja za struju (125 dana) i dalje predugačak.
The World Bank report on business conditions for 2017 (Doing Business 2017) shows continuity in Serbia’s progress on the global business ranking list. This progress is attributed to structural changes that have improved the business environment in the economy. Serbia’s most favorable result so far (47th out of 190 countries) should represent an encouraging step forward for future investors, especially in conditions where the Government continues the practice of providing subsidies per newly created job position.
The rankings indicate that the business environment for domestic entrepreneurs has improved. The greatest contributions to progress came from three components – dealing with construction permits (156 days), registering property (21 days), and starting a business (7 days required).
However, within the region Serbia did not achieve the greatest improvement. Albania advanced by 32 positions, Serbia by 7, and North Macedonia by 6 positions. Other countries in the region recorded declines in the rankings (Croatia by 4 positions, Montenegro by 3, and Bosnia and Herzegovina by 2). North Macedonia is the highest-ranked country in the region (10th position), while Bosnia and Herzegovina is the lowest-ranked (81st position).
A remaining issue is that Serbia recorded weaker progress measured by DTF (Distance to Frontier) points – reflecting the ease of doing business for investors – with an improvement of 2.59 points, which is lower than the previous year’s 3.16 points. Serbia achieved its worst result in the area of getting electricity (92nd position), while the waiting period for electricity connection (125 days) remains excessively long.
Compared to neighboring economies, countries ranked ahead of Serbia include North Macedonia (11), Slovenia (37), and Montenegro (42), while lower-ranked countries include Romania (44), Hungary (48), Bulgaria (50), Croatia (51), Albania (65), and Bosnia and Herzegovina (86).
