Enterprise Survey 2005 - Kyrgyz Republic

Abstract
---------------------------

This research was conducted in Kyrgyz Republic from March 10 to April 20, 2005, as part of the third round of the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey. The objective of the study is to obtain feedback from enterprises in client countries 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, thus allowing, for example, impact assessments of reforms. Through face-to-face interviews with firms in the manufacturing and services sectors, the survey assesses the constraints to private sector growth and creates statistically significant business environment indicators that are comparable across countries.

The survey topics include firm characteristics, information about sales/suppliers, competition, infrastructure services, judiciary/law enforcement collaboration, security, government policies/laws/regulations, financing, overall business environment, bribery, capacity utilization, performance and investment activities, and workforce composition.

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

The information below is taken from "The Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS) 2005: A brief report on observations, experiences and methodology from the survey" prepared by Synovate, a research company that implemented BEEPS III instrument.

The general targeted distributional criteria of the sample in BEEPS III countries were to be as follows:

1) Coverage of countries: The BEEPS III instrument was to be administered to approximately 9,500 enterprises in 28 transition economies: 16 from CEEE (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, FR Yugoslavia, FYROM, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Turkey) and 12 from the CIS (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan).

2) Sector: In each country, the sectoral composition of the sample in terms of manufacturing (including agro-processing) (1) versus services (including commerce) (2)was to be determined by their relative contribution to GDP. Firms that operate in sectors subject to government price regulation and prudential supervision, such as banking, electric power, rail transport, and water and waste water, were to be excluded from the design of the sample.

3) Size: At least 10% of the sample was to be in the small (3) and 10% in the large size categories. Firms with only one employee or more than 10,000 employees were to be excluded.

4) Ownership: At least 10% of the firms were to have foreign control (4) and 10% state control (4).

5) Exporters: At least 10% of the firms were to be exporters (5), meaning that some significant share of their output is exported.

6) Location: At least 10% of firms were to be in the category "small city/countryside" (6).

7) BEEPS 2002 sample coverage: The BEEPS III survey instrument was to be administered to a given proportion of respondents who participated in BEEPS 2002 and had agreed in principle, at that time, to participate in future rounds of the BEEPS.

Enterprises, which began operations in 2002, 2003 and 2004, were to be excluded from the survey.

(1). Mining and quarrying (Section C: 10-14), Construction (Section F: 45), Manufacturing (Section D: 15-37)
(2). Transportation, storage and communications (Section I: 60-64), Wholesale, retail, repairs (Section G: 50-52), Real estate, business services (Section K: 70-74), Hotels and restaurants (Section H: 55), Other community, social and personal activities (Section O: selected groups)
(3). Small=2-49 employees, Medium=50-249, Large=250 - 9,999
(4). More than 50% shareholding
(5). Exports 20% or more of total sales
(6). Population under 50,000 inhabitants

8) The following sources of information were used to prepare the sample frame for Kyrgyz Republic:
National Statistical Committee data;
Kompass Kyrgyzstan;
Yellow Pages.

本研究于2005年3月10日至4月20日在吉尔吉斯共和国进行，作为商业环境与企业绩效调查的第三轮调查的一部分。研究旨在收集来自客户国家的企业的反馈，关于私营部门的现状，并有助于构建企业数据面板，以便随着时间的推移追踪商业环境的变化，从而允许进行改革影响的评估。通过面对面访谈制造业和服务业的企业，调查评估了私营部门增长的限制，并创建了具有统计学意义的、可跨国家比较的商业环境指标。调查主题包括企业特征、销售/供应商信息、竞争、基础设施服务、司法/执法合作、安全、政府政策/法律/法规、融资、整体商业环境、贿赂、产能利用、绩效和投资活动以及劳动力构成。

地理覆盖范围：全国

分析单元：研究的主要抽样单元为企事业单位。

总体：制造业和服务业是关注的主要商业部门。

数据类型：样本调查数据 [ssd]
