B-READY: International Trade Pillar 2: Quality of Public Services for the Facilitation of International Trade

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 International Trade topic measures different aspects of international trade—trade in goods, trade in services, and digital trade—across three different dimensions, or pillars. The second pillar assesses digital and physical infrastructure concerning international trade and the quality of border management, thus assessing de facto provision of public services for international trade facilitation.
