Figure 43: Trading Across Borders- Distance to Frontier Scores (DTF) and Ranks in the OIC
Source: World Bank Doing Business
Note: The countries are ranked according to their 2017 DTF scores
As shown in Figure 44 when the Trading Across borders ranks compared between WB Doing
Business 2017 and 2016 (which are the only comparable years due to the methodological
change) there are some OIC countries improving in Trading Across Borders indicators and
moving up in the rank. Nigeria (up 16) is the most improving country followed by Togo (up 10),
Kazakhstan (up 9), Indonesia, Morocco and Uganda (up 5) and Oman (up 4). While 20 OIC
countries experienced no change at rank, 19 OIC countries worsened.
