The impact of decentralizationon the administrativeservice delivery speed in ap imso d ifferent fields

Usingan analytical and documentary-based methodology,the objective of the study was to establish the relationshipbetween the degree of decentralization and the speed of deliveryof administrative services at the local level in different fields inEuropean countries and Ukraine. The study involved indicatorsof the speed of delivery of administrative services (company registration, building permit and land registration) according to the World Bank's Doing Business methodology. The relationship identified between the degree of decentralization and the speed of administrative service delivery at the local level was the basis for establishing that the time to register a company and obtain a building permit decreases as a function of the higher degreeof decentralization. The time to register property increases as the degree of decentralization increases, which is partly explained by the complexity of the administrative procedure models and their duration. It is concluded that, a comparison of the speed of providing administrative services (business registration, construction permit, land registration) in Ukraine with the average indicator of a group of countries revealed significantly better results in Ukraine.
