About these figures
The figures currently published are the baselines stated in the outcome matrix of the Second Annual Doing Business Forum. They are starting points, not a live feed: each shows the period it refers to and the source it came from. As institutions begin reporting against their publication commitments, this page will carry their data on the cadence they have agreed — monthly for land office performance, quarterly for commercial case resolution.
