Ease of doing business in South Asia

India, Pakistan and Bangladesh probably holds the major part of South Asia meanwhile Afghanistan, Sri lanka, Nepal and Maldives are also a part of this portion. So this part of Asia has not been under much spotlight for technological and business competitiveness, local business environments have seen a consistent change in the past few years. While South Asia is the only region not represented int the top 50 ranking for ease of doing business. Although it wasn't fair not to be in this category for this countries especially for pakistan and india and we can add bangladesh too. Because in these countries, doing a business is so much easier than in Europe of the United States of America. You can't even imagine how much easy it is to do a business in this countries. Because for example in a european country, if you want to sell french fries, you will have to take the permit letter and approve a location by the government and a lot of work etc. But in these countries you can yourself stand anywhere and start selling the fries and no one is going to say anything because it is kinda legal in a major portion. Yeah i am not saying that we can stand anywhere to sell anything in south asia but it is quite easy.
