Abstract: The World Bank Group has issued Doing Business Report every year since 2002, in which it estimates and ranks main Economies of the world in using more than 100 indicators. In response to the report, France has not only carried out economic reforms for benchmarking against these indicators, but also developed its own doing business report, namely, Tableau de Bord de l'Attractivité de la France. Different from the reference scope, data source, indicators and methodologies used in the World Bank report, French report highlights the values such as social efficiency and green development. This evaluation model can serve as a good example for China in the sense that it follows the existing system but rejects to copy everything from it, paying equal attention to the benefits of business operators and that of commercial environment. At present, it is urgent for China to establish its own doing business evaluation system. The French experience shows that paying equal attention to both "pushing forward the ranking after reaching the benchmark of the World Bank" and "independent research and development in accordance with the national situation" is undoubtedly the most appropriate approach today. What we need to pay special attention is although the indicators of the World Bank lay emphasis on the economic interests of business operators, China's business environment evaluation should pay attention to the values in Chinese society such as the social benefits of business locations, green development and comprehensive efficiency.

Key words: business environment, Doing Business Report, Tableau de Bord de l'Attractivité de la France, China's business environment evaluation
