UPDATE. In the comments Anonymous points out that the yesterday's Gulf News has a story on the UAE's "Doing Business" rankings under the headline "UAE business procedures 'highly streamlined'." Anonymous also links to Waterboy's analysis. Quoting Waterboy:

With a company start-up capital requirement that favours the rich - 416.9% of per cap. income (as opposed to 28.9% of per cap income in the OECD); with a credit information index of 2 out of 10; with a shareholder protection index of 4.7 out of 10; an average delay of 614 days to enforce contracts (232 in the OECD); and an average recovery rate of 5.5 cents on the dollar from bankrupts – yeah, it's incredibly 'streamlined.'
