世行新营商环境评估报告（B-READY）解析（五）——评估过程中的经验教训

China Daily

世行新营商环境评估报告（B-READY）解析（五）——评估过程中的经验教训世界银行计划于2024年发布B-READY评估体系的第一份报告。第一轮评估在2023年至2024年期间进行，包括专家咨询和企业调查等环节。在完成数据收集和分析后，世界银行将撰写并发布第一期评估报告。本文旨在提炼出评估过程中的关键收获，以及未来营商环境评估工作的规划和展望。一、评估过程中的经验教训 1.1 评估体系的完善与创新在评估过程中，Business Ready 2024报告在原有Doing Business评估体系的基础上进行了显著的完善与创新。首先，保留了Doing Business中的核心指标，如市场准入、金融服务、国际贸易和税收等，这些指标仍然是衡量营商环境的重要标尺。同时，引入了新的评估维度和指标，如公共基础设施服务、劳动力市场竞争等，以更全面地反映企业营商环境的各个方面。这种完善与创新不仅提升了评估体系的科学性和全面性，也为政策制定者提供了更加丰富的数据支持。 1.2 数据收集与治理的改进数据收集与治理是评估工作的关键环节。在Business Ready 2024报告中，数据收集工作得到了显著的改进。一方面，通过整合2500多名商业环境专家的判断和29000多家企业调查数据，确保了评估结果的准确性和可靠性。另一方面，建立了严格的数据治理体系，包括数据验证、质量控制和透明度提升等措施，以确保评估过程的公正性和透明度。这些改进不仅提升了评估工作的效率和质量，也为未来的营商环境评估工作提供了有益的借鉴。 1.3 评估结果的区域与收入水平差异评估结果显示，不同区域和收入水平在营商环境方面存在显著差异。高收入经济体在大多数评估领域表现较好，这得益于其完善的监管框架、高效的公共服务和先进的基础设施。相比之下，低收入经济体在多个领域面临挑战，如基础设施不足、劳动力市场僵化或金融服务不发达等。这些差异不仅反映了全球营商环境的现状，也为政策制定者提供了有针对性的改革方向。 1.4 评估方法的持续优化在评估过程中，Business Ready 2024报告不断对评估方法进行优化。例如，在纳税指标中删除了关于妇女在涉税争议中是否享有与男子同等权利的表述，以更加聚焦于纳税便利度和成本。在公共基础设施服务指标中，由于专家问卷数据回复率显著低于企业调查的数据回复率，世界银行修改了数据收集方式，仅通过企业调查获取该数据。这些优化措施不仅提升了评估结果的准确性和可靠性，也为未来的评估工作提供了更加科学的方法论支持。二、未来发展方向与规划 2.1 扩大评估范围与提升覆盖面未来，Business Ready评估体系将不断扩大评估范围和提升覆盖面。一方面，将增加参与评估的经济体数量，从目前的50个逐步扩大到180个左右，以更全面地反映全球营商环境的现状。另一方面，将不断优化评估指标和维度，以更加准确地衡量企业在不同领域面临的挑战和机遇。这些措施将提升评估体系的科学性和全面性，为政策制定者提供更加丰富的数据支持。 2.2 加强政策制定与改革支持基于评估结果，Business Ready 2024报告将为政策制定者提供有针对性的政策建议和改革方向。一方面，将针对不同区域和收入水平的特点，提出差异化的政策建议，以更加精准地解决企业在营商环境方面面临的问题。另一方面，将加强与国际组织和私营部门的合作，共同推动营商环境的改善和优化。这些措施将促进全球营商环境的持续改善和提升，为私营部门的发展创造更加稳定和高效的环境。 2.3 推动数字化转型与可持续发展数字化转型和可持续发展是未来营商环境评估的重要方向。一方面，将加强数字技术在评估过程中的应用，如利用大数据、人工智能等技术手段提升评估效率和准确性。另一方面，将关注环境可持续性和性别平等等新维度在评估中的体现，以推动企业在实现经济效益的同时，积极履行社会责任和推动可持续发展。这些措施将促进全球营商环境的数字化转型和可持续发展，为企业的长期发展提供更加广阔的空间和机遇。 2.4 加强国际合作与交流国际合作与交流是推动全球营商环境改善和提升的重要途径。未来，Business Ready评估体系将加强与国际组织和私营部门的合作与交流，共同推动营商环境的改善和优化。一方面，将积极参与国际营商环境评估和比较研究，分享评估经验和成果，提升全球营商环境的透明度和可比性。另一方面，将加强与私营部门的合作与交流，了解企业在营商环境方面的需求和诉求，为政策制定者提供更加精准的政策建议。这些措施将促进全球营商环境的国际合作与交流，为企业的跨国经营和全球发展提供更加便利的条件和机遇。三、案例分析：成功与挑战 3.1 成功案例：新加坡与中国香港新加坡与中国香港在Business Ready 2024报告中表现突出，成为营商环境的佼佼者。新加坡凭借其高效的市场准入制度、完善的公共基础设施和透明的税收制度，在多个评估领域取得了优异成绩。中国香港则在市场准入和国际贸易等方面表现出色，同时也在努力提升公共基础设施服务和劳动力市场等方面的表现。这些成功案例不仅为其他经济体提供了有益的借鉴和启示，也为全球营商环境的持续改善和提升树立了榜样。 3.2 挑战案例：低收入经济体低收入经济体在Business Ready 2024报告中面临诸多挑战。这些经济体在基础设施、劳动力市场、金融服务等方面存在明显短板，导致营商环境整体表现不佳。例如，撒哈拉以南非洲和中东北非地区在多个评估领域得分较低，反映了这些地区在营商环境方面的不足和挑战。这些挑战不仅制约了这些经济体的经济发展和社会进步，也为全球营商环境的持续改善和提升带来了挑战和困难。四、结论与展望通过对Business Ready 2024报告中“Lessons Learned and What Is Next”部分的分析，我们可以得出以下结论与展望： …
