The Global Business Complexity Index 2024

Insights to cut through the complexity of operating and investing around the world.

Entering into new markets, or managing existing cross-border operations, can pose many challenges for businesses. Our report helps you to cut through the layers of corporate compliance complexity, wherever you operate.

The GBCI 2024 is based on 292 indicators relating to business complexity and provides in-depth analysis of the global and local challenges impacting on the ease of doing business around the world. These data points are used to compile a global ranking of the 79 jurisdictions, based on the complexity of their business environments.

Our analysis identifies key trends and sheds light on how business complexity affects three core areas of business administration:
• Accounting and tax
• Global entity management
• HR and payroll
