The 2025 edition covered 101 economies and put Morocco at 63.44, second in Africa behind Rwanda.

B-READY scores regulatory frameworks, public services, and operational efficiency. The sample grew substantially between editions, and the World Bank does not present this composite as a global league-table rank.
