The Enterprise Surveys (ES) team has released new survey data for Egypt, and Hungary. The data was collected in partnership with EBRD and EIB, with further support from the EU for the Hungary survey. In addition to the core questions included in all standard ES, these surveys have questions on the green economy, regulatory governance, and the use of managers’ time.
The ES team has also released the Moldova ES follow-up survey data aimed at measuring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on businesses. This is the first in a series of follow-up surveys that re-interview respondents of recently completed ES to collect information about closures (temporary or permanent), changes in sales, employment and finance, along with policy responses, expectations, and other topics. The ES team has similar surveys planned or under implementation in 39 countries. The data will be released as soon as they become available.
