Business Insolvency

The Business Insolvency topic measures key features of insolvency systems on a regulatory level. It also assesses the institutional and operational infrastructure associated with insolvency proceedings (judicial services), as well as the operational efficiency of insolvency proceedings across three different dimensions, here referred to as pillars. The first pillar assesses the quality of regulation pertaining to judicial insolvency proceedings — liquidation and reorganization, covering de jure features of a regulatory framework that are necessary for structured debt resolution processes and effective creditor and debtor regimes. The second pillar measures the quality of institutional and operational infrastructure for judicial insolvency proceedings, thus assessing the de facto aspects of insolvency resolution mechanisms and the infrastructure required to implement the legal framework on insolvency. The third pillar measures the time and cost required to resolve in—court liquidation and reorganization proceedings. Each pillar is divided into categories—defined by common features that inform the grouping into a particular category—and each category is further divided into subcategories. Each subcategory has several indicators, each of which may, in turn, have several components. Relevant points are assigned to each indicator and subsequently aggregated to obtain the number of points for each subcategory, category, and pillar.
