GO-SWIFT stands for Government of Odisha - Single Window for Investor Facilitation and Tracking.

Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) refers to the simplicity of regulations and procedures for starting and operating a business. It is an index published by the World Bank (though discontinued in 2021) that ranked countries based on various parameters like starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving insolvency. Governments often implement reforms to improve their EoDB ranking to attract investments.
Exams often test on government initiatives for ease of doing business, state-specific investment promotion schemes, and their impact on economic development.
