JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia has soared up a World Bank index that ranks countries on how easy it is to resolve a commercial dispute.
The Kingdom jumped 24 places on the World Bank Contract Enforcement Index, reaching 59 from 83 in the previous year’s list.
The index measures the time and cost for resolving a commercial dispute through a local first-instance court.
The Ease of Doing Business 2019 report said steps taken by the Kingdom’s Ministry of Justice during the past two years have contributed to the improved standing.
