Business Planet – Interactive Business Maps
On the Business Planet website you will find interactive maps visualizing World Bank Group’s data sources such as Doing Business, Enterprise Surveys, Privatization Database and Private Investment in Infrastructure Projects covering over 190 economies from around the world.
Business Planet features more than 20 maps explaining issues such as How easy it is to do business, How often firms are expected to bribe tax inspectors.
Depending on the indicator, economies are ranked from top to bottom, and then assigned one of three color codings: green for the high performing economies, orange for those in the middle, and red for the lowest performing economies.
You can filter maps by various topics, regions and countries and share a link with your colleagues through a toolbar at the top right corner.
If you click on color markers you can learn more about that specific economy.
