📊 What is the cheapest country to start a business?

In some countries, the cost of doing business is extremely low in order to stimulate economic activity. Others impose high or nearly unaffordable duties to protect existing businesses or simply to profit from entrepreneurial spirit.

At first glance, the cheapest regions for starting a business are Central Asia and Africa. But this is not the case!

⚡️The cheapest countries in terms of dollars for a new startup are Venezuela, Rwanda and Slovenia. While the former has only $0.21 in fees, Rwanda and Slovenia have no fees for new ventures, although Slovenia requires capital of 7,500 euros.

Expensive countries are in Europe, including Italy at $4,876 and Austria at $2,475, and in North and South America, including Suriname at $3,030 and Ecuador at $1,630.

The most expensive countries, however, are mostly in the Middle East. These include UAE #1 at $7,444, Qatar #4 at $3,952 and Lebanon #6 at $2,855.

🏆The most affordable countries for starting a business include the United Kingdom, Denmark and Ireland in Europe, South Korea in East Asia, and New Zealand in Oceania. In each of them, the cost of starting a business is only 1-2% of monthly income.

A similar pattern is seen in North and South America, where Chile and Canada have the lowest relative costs - 2% and 5% of monthly income, respectively. Even in the United States, where the cost of starting a business is quite high at $725, the cost of starting a business is relatively affordable at 16% of monthly income.

😱The least affordable countries are in Africa. In many countries on the continent, start-up costs exceed 100% of monthly income.

And here's all the styling on one chart👇

⬆️ AMD $AMD rating upgraded to "under market" from "worse than market"; target price raised to $110 from $80 - BMO Capital analyst Ambrish Srivastava

👉 The analyst calls the current revision a time to admit one's mistakes. Given the company's ongoing activity and valuation expansion, the stock looks relatively more reasonably valued than it did at the beginning of the year, according to Srivastava, who also believes that valuations are trending upward during the year as AMD begins to ramp up projects it has already won in the data center sector.

Agilysys $AGYS could be the beneficiary of the hotel industry's recovery, and COVID-19's special terms could help that.

The company sells cloud-based software for hospitality management: from booking tools and customer communications to customer service inside a hotel, casino, restaurant, cruise ship, etc.

Agilysys has no-contact ordering tools to reduce staffing costs and meet quarantine requirements.

Modern hotels, including premium hotels, often buy a large set of Agilysys solutions at once. An example is London's Town Hall Hotel, which in August signed up for five solutions at once. #stocks

💡The crypto universe is expanding rapidly.

Today, the total market capitalization of all 11145 cryptocurrencies is roughly equivalent to the nominal GDP of Canada.

Crypto investors have also become more sophisticated and affluent. As this chart shows, institutions account for 63% of trades, up from 10% in 2017.

However, this maturation could not tame the wild fluctuations characteristic of cryptocurrency markets.

Every tilt downward raises the question of how serious the consequences could be. There is too much at stake for cryptocurrency to collapse.
