The list used 2020 data from the World Bank, including information on the average number of days it takes to start a business, how hard getting a licence is, and the cost of a startup.

Canada ranked number five on the list.

New Zealand took the number one spot as the easiest country for starting a business, while the U.S. came in at number 58.
