Ease of doing business in African countries 2020

A suitable business environment, supporting industries as well as governmental and private institutions are fundamental requirements for starting and doing businesses. As of 2020, the best African country to possess such facilities to accommodate businesses was Mauritius, whose score for facilitating business enterprises stood by 81.5 percent. Rwanda, Morocco, and Kenya followed, exceeding 73 percent. Mauritius actually is the 13th best country in the world where to open and facilitate business enterprises. The majority of the rest of the African countries scored between 50 and 60 percent in that regard. Less business-supportive countries were the Republic of the Congo, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central Africa, South Sudan, and Libya, as those countries' score did not exceed 40 percent. This made them rather unsuitable environments for conducting businesses, as most essential requirements were missing to carry out businesses easily. Somalia and Eritrea scored 20 percent and 21.6 percent respectively, making them the least African countries to facilitate businesses in Africa as well as worldwide.
