Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey

The EBRD has the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS) in partnership with the World Bank. BEEPS is a firm-level survey based on face-to-face interviews with managers. It examines the quality of the business environment.

Five rounds of the survey have so far been implemented (1999, 2002, 2005, 2009 and 2012-14). Furthermore, to set a benchmark for the transition countries, a survey of comparator countries was conducted in 2004-2005 covering Germany, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, South Korea, Spain and Vietnam. 

BEEPS has been supported by various donors over time, including Vneshekonombank, the EBRD Shareholder Special Fund, Southern and Eastern Mediterranean cooperation funds account (BEEPS V), 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).
