As shown in Figure 54 when the Trading Across borders ranks compared between WB Doing
Business 2018 and 2016 (which are the only comparable years due to the methodological
change) there are eighteen OIC countries improving in Trading Across Borders indicators and
moving up in the rank. Qatar (up 34) is the most improving country followed by Niger (up 26),
Uganda (up 14) and Guinea Bissau (up 13). Four OIC countries experienced no change at rank
while thirty-three OIC countries worsened.
