Efficiency in Insolvency Resolution Globally

"Ease of resolving insolvency" is an indicator used to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of a country's legal and regulatory system in resolving insolvency cases. This indicator measures various aspects of the insolvency process, such as the length of time it takes to resolve an insolvency case, from the start of proceedings to final resolution, and the associated cost, including legal and administration fees. The percentage of debt recovery by creditors is also assessed, i.e. the value that creditors manage to recover compared to the original value of the debt. Furthermore, the indicator examines the quality of the legal and regulatory system, evaluating the rules and institutions that govern insolvency procedures, the effectiveness of the courts, the transparency and predictability of the process, and the ability to rehabilitate businesses. The "Ease of resolving insolvency" indicator is often used in global reports on the ease of doing business, such as the World Bank's "Doing Business" report. A high score on this indicator suggests that the country has a more efficient and less costly system for resolving insolvencies, which can foster a more stable and attractive economic environment for investment.
