In the previous question, I provided you with a list of obstacles to a better business environment. Now I want to know if the government has addressed any of these obstacles with reforms. From the following list of reforms, please rank the top three reforms that your national, district or local government implemented since 2002 and that have had a positive impact on your business. The top reform should be the one that benefited your business the most.
