The Report “Doing Business Enforcing Contracts – Uzbekistan and the Top 5 Ranking Countries 2019”

May 23, 2019

The Report “Doing Business Enforcing Contracts – Uzbekistan and the Top 5 Ranking Countries 2019” has been prepared by the ‘Rule of Law Partnership in Uzbekistan’ project implemented jointly by the Supreme Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the United Nations Development Programme.

This report reviews the performance of Uzbekistan in comparison to the 5 countries that were performing the highest in the Doing Business Enforcing Contracts Indicator in 2019, i.e. Australia, Kazakhstan, Republic of Korea, Norway and Singapore. The ease of contract enforcement is one element of the World Bank’s Doing Business (DB) Indicator. It captures court performance in three main indicator areas: timeliness, cost and quality of judicial processes in commercial matters.

This document outlines the performance trends related to this DB indicator among these six countries over a five-year period, i.e. from 2014 to 2019, as well as their reform activities and provides recommendations that Uzbekistan could consider to further improve the operations and services of the commercial courts.
