Background The Business Environment Survey (BEEPS) is a joint initiative of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the World Bank Group (the World Bank). The survey was first undertaken on behalf of the EBRD and World Bank in 1999 – 2000, when it was administered to approximately 4000 enterprises in 26 countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia (including Turkey) to assess the environment for private enterprise and business development. In the second round of the BEEPS, the survey instrument was administered to approximately 6500 enterprises in 27 countries (including Turkey but excluding Turkmenistan) in the year 2002. In the third round of the BEEPS, the survey included approximately 9,500 enterprises in 28 countries in the year 2005. In seven of the countries the survey also included an additional sampling overlay of the manufacturing sector in addition to the main BEEPS sample. Furthermore, to set a benchmark for the transition countries, a survey of comparator countries was conducted in 2004-2005 in two rounds. In the fourth round of the BEEPS in 2008-2009, the survey covered approximately 11,800 enterprises in 29 countries (including Mongolia for the first time). The survey was restructured to improve cross-country comparability and to make it compatible with the Enterprise Surveys the Enterprise Analysis Unit of the World Bank has been implementing in the past two years in other regions of the world. The objective of the survey is to obtain feedback from enterprises in EBRD countries of operation on the state of the private sector as well as to help in building a panel of enterprise data that will make it possible to track changes in the business environment over time. The survey examines the quality of the business environment as determined by a wide range of interactions between firms and the state and as such facilities research and serves as an input into policy dialogue with countries in Central and Eastern Europe. BEEPS has been supported by various donors over time, including the Taiwan Business - EBRD TC Fund, EBRD - Canadian Technical Cooperation Fund 2006-2009 (BEEPS IV) and the Japan Europe Cooperation Fund and the Multi-donor Fund for the Early Transition Countries (BEEPS III).
