Others catch up as Malaysia slips

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia continues to slip in the World Bank’s rankings for ease of doing business, as some countries continue to make significant progress and a faster pace of reforms.

This year showed Malaysia falling one notch to 24th place out of 190 countries in the World Bank’s Doing Business Report 2018 released yesterday, compared with the 23rd placing last year, despite improvement in the domestic business climate.
