The EBRD-World Bank Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS), developed jointly by the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, is a survey of managers and owners of more than 20,000 firms across 26 countries of Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and Turkey. The survey has been carried out in three rounds: 1999, 2002 and 2005. Furthermore, to set a benchmark for the transition countries, a survey of comparator countries was conducted in 2004-2005 in two rounds. BEEPS has been supported by the Japan Europe Cooperation Fund and the Multi-donor Fund for the Early Transition Countries. The BEEPS is designed to examine the quality of the business environment as determined by a wide range of interactions between firms and the state, including in the following areas:  Problems Doing Business | Labor Issues | Unofficial Payments and Corruption | Firm Financing | Crime | Legal and Judicial Issues | Regulations and Red Tape | Infrastructure | Customs and Taxes | |
See further information in our BEEPS FAQ. See firm level data from all rounds.
