Banking Environment and Performance Survey

BEPS is a nationally representative survey of bank chief executive officers and heads of credit in the EBRD regions and comparator countries. The latest wave was carried out in 2020-21, building on previous waves implemented in 2012 and 2006. The BEPS data have been used in various analyses in recent years, including in the EBRD's flagship Transition Report, journal articles and country snapshots, capturing key characteristics of national banking environments (see "Research and reports" box above). 

The underlying data for BEPS are not publicly available due to confidentiality agreements with participating banks.
