Utility services governance and transparency score

B-READY focuses on ten topics that are organized following the life cycle of the firm and its participation in the market while opening, operating (or expanding), and closing (or reorganizing) a business. The Utility Services topic measures the effectiveness of regulatory frameworks, and the quality of governance and transparency of service delivery mechanisms, as well as the operational efficiency of providing electricity, water, and internet services. The second pillar of the topic measures the quality of governance and transparency in the provision of utility services, thus assessing the de facto provision of utility services.
