Doing Business 2011
This year's list of the 10 most-improved economies also includes three in Sub-Saharan Africa—Rwanda (a consistent reformer of business regulation), Cape Verde, and Zambia—as well as Peru, Vietnam, Grenada, and Brunei Darussalam.
Globally, doing business remains easiest in the high-income economies of the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development and most difficult in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. But developing economies are increasingly active. In the past year, 66 percent reformed business regulation, up from 34 percent six years earlier.

Oil refineries began to reopen and oil depots were forcibly unblocked on government orders. Rotting rubbish was cleared from the streets in Marseille. Although a further day of strikes was called for October 28th, unions are divided over whether to push their case further. And with schoolchildren on half-term holiday, university students seemed too half-hearted to keep the protests going.
As the French digest the turmoil of recent weeks, and businesses count the cost, what lessons might be drawn about the nature of protest and reform in France? One is that, even though union leaders are still able to draw huge numbers of protesters on to the streets, the disruptive power of strikes is not what it was. This is because the law now guarantees minimum service on public transport and in schools on strike days, and workers who down tools are no longer paid.
