Anton Kabakov contributed to World Bank Doing Business 2021

The World Bank is preparing to publish its annual report Doing Business 2021. Doing Business is a series of annual studies evaluating the ease and constraints of doing business in 190 countries.

Doing Business reports are based on an analysis of the activities of national – primarily small and medium-sized – enterprises throughout their entire life cycle and on a review of regulations governing their activity. This study is currently one of the most authoritative sources assessing the conditions for doing business across markets worldwide.

In preparing this report, the World Bank relies not only on various quantitative data but also on the opinion of experts such as business consultants, lawyers, economists, government representatives as well as leading scholars from different countries.

As in previous years, the World Bank invited Anton Kabakov, partner at Forte Tax & Law, to contribute to the new edition of Doing Business. Anton was involved to contribute to the tax part of the report by giving his assessment of the Russian tax system.
