Bishkek, Nov. 26, 2018 / Kabar /. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the World Bank Group (WBG) are launching a new round of enterprise surveys in more than 40 countries in Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa including Kyrgyzstan.
The objective of the EBRD-EIB-WBG Enterprise Survey is to seek feedback from private sector enterprises on the state of the business environment in each of the participating countries, and use the feedback to assess opportunities and constraints to private sector growth. In each country the survey will be conducted through interviews with private firms in the manufacturing and services sectors, the press service of EBRD reported.
In Kyrgyzstan, a contract for data collection was concluded with SIAR Research & Consulting, and work on a survey of representatives of selected companies from a random will begin in Nov. 2018. This work will last until May 2019, and preliminary survey results are expected in the second half of 2019.
The findings of the enterprise survey will constitute the basis for evidence-based analytical work which might shed light on how to promote investment, productivity and economic growth in these countries.
The survey is comparable to other World Bank Enterprise Surveys which are carried out worldwide using a standard methodology. Topics included in the questionnaire – such as productivity, the adoption of technology and innovation, competition, the qualification of the workforce, informality, access to financial services, infrastructure and the impact of government regulations – will be comparable on a global scale. The survey will also include a module on the green economy.
