The Enterprise Surveys (ES) team has released new survey data for Ireland and the Netherlands. In addition to the core questions included in all standard ES, the Ireland and the Netherlands surveys have questions on business-government relations, management practices, technology adoption, and COVID-19.
The ES team has also released the ES follow-up survey data which measures the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on businesses for 16 economies. These include Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, Mozambique, Serbia – for which the first round of the follow-up survey data were released; Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Mongolia, Morocco, Portugal, Slovak Republic, and Zambia – for which the second round of data were released. These and similar surveys re-interview the respondents of the 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, ongoing surveys in 46 countries. The data are released as soon as they become available.
Additionally, the combined panel data for the ECA region (last three rounds of ES) are also now available. All datasets are available on the data portal. The status of several Enterprise Surveys can be found on the current projects page.
This report presents the findings of Enterprise Surveys conducted in eight economies in the region in 2013 and 2014: Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia, the West Bank and Gaza, and Yemen. By analyzing detailed information on more than 6,000 private firms in the manufacturing and services sectors, the report provides fine-grained insights into the key drivers of firms’ performance and the major challenges of the business environment in which they operate.
We are currently gathering data in 12 countries around the world.
