B-READY: Financial Services Pillar 1: Quality of Regulations for Financial Services
B-READY focuses on ten topics that are organized following the life cycle of the firm and its participation in the market while opening, operating (or expanding), and closing (or reorganizing) a business. The Financial Services topic measures four areas—Commercial Lending; Secured Transactions; e-Payments; and Credit Information—across three different dimensions, or pillars. The first pillar assesses the effectiveness of regulation pertaining to commercial lending, secured transactions, and e-payments, covering the de jure features of regulatory frameworks.
