Which among the following areas of business regulation is/are covered under World Bank Group flagship publication named ‘Doing Business’ report?

1. Getting Electricity
2. Protecting Minority Investors
3. Resolving Insolvency
4. Registering property

Recently, the World Bank Group has ‘paused’ the publication of the Doing Business report to assess the irregularities that have been reported regarding changes to the data used in the report.

• Doing Business Report, a World Bank Group flagship publication, is a series of annual studies measuring the regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it. Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 190 economies.
• Doing Business covers 12 areas of business regulation. Ten of these areas—starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving insolvency—are included in the ease of doing business score and ease of doing business ranking.
• Doing Business also measures regulation on employing workers and contracting with the government, which are not included in the ease of doing business score and ranking.

Hence option 4th is correct.
