The World Bank released its latest 'doing business' rankings (2009) for 181 countries on 10 September 2008. The results reflect South Asia in a rather poor light.

What is more worrisome is that, except for Sri Lanka, individual rankings of all economies from the region have declined in year 2009, compared to year 2008.
