Accessing Industrial Land

This topic quantifies several aspects of land administration regimes important to foreign companies seeking to acquire land for their industrial investment projects: the strength of land rights, the scope of available land information, and the process of leasing land in a country’s largest business city.

The table below shows the main sub-indicators:

• Strength of lease rights index (0-100): compares economies on the security of legal rights they offer to investors interested in leasing industrial land—whether or not foreign and domestic companies are treated differently and whether the land can be subleased, subdivided, mortgaged, or used as collateral.
• Strength of ownership rights index (0-100): compares economies on the security of legal rights they offer to investors interested in purchasing industrial land.
• Access to land information index (0-100): compares economies on the ease of access to land-related information through the countries’ land administration systems including land registries, cadastres and land information systems.
• Availability of land information index (0-100): compares economies on the availability of key information to interested private parties through land administration institutions.
• Time to lease private land (days): benchmarks economies on the number of days needed to lease industrial land from a private holder.
• Time to lease public land (days): benchmarks economies on the number of days needed to lease public land designated for industrial use from the government.
