TOKYO -- One of the biggest economic achievements by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi thus far has been his efforts to push the country up in the World Bank's annual ease-of-doing-business rankings. India has managed to move up almost 80 places, from 142nd in 2014 to 63rd among 190 economies.
But India has completely failed to improve in one of the 10 areas that the World Bank measures: Ease of enforcing contracts. India's rank here edged up from 186th out of 189 economies in 2014 to only 163rd today.
