Investment Climate Survey 2003 - Montenegro

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

The Investment Climate Surveys (ICS) were conducted by the World Bank and its partners across all geographic regions and covered firms of all sizes in many industries. The ICS collected a wide array of qualitative and quantitative information through face-to-face interviews with managers and owners regarding the investment climate in their country and the productivity of their firms. Topics covered in the ICS included the obstacles to doing business, infrastructure, finance, labor, corruption and regulation, contract enforcement, law and order, innovation and technology, and firm productivity. Taken together, the qualitative and quantitative data helped connect a country’s investment climate characteristics with firm productivity and performance.

Firm-level surveys have been administered since 1998 by different units within the World Bank. Since 2005-06, most data collection efforts have been centralized within the Enterprise Analysis Unit (FPDEA). Enterprise Surveys, a replacement for Investment Climate Surveys, are now conducted by the Enterprise Analysis Unit.

Montenegro Investment Climate Survey was performed in June 2003. It covered 100 firms in manufacturing and retail/whole sales sectors.

The survey was undertaken in the aftermath of the assassination of Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic at a time when Serbia and Montenegro were experiencing a great deal of uncertainty, so the survey results must be viewed in this light.

摘要
---------------------------
投资环境调查（ICS）由世界银行及其合作伙伴在全球各地区展开，涵盖了众多行业中各种规模的企业。通过与管理者和业主的面对面访谈，ICS收集了关于其国家投资环境和企业生产力的广泛定性及定量信息。ICS所涵盖的主题包括商业运营的障碍、基础设施、金融、劳动力、腐败与监管、合同执行、法律与秩序、创新与科技以及企业生产力。综合这些定性及定量数据，有助于将一国的投资环境特征与其企业的生产力和业绩相联系。
自1998年以来，世界银行内部不同部门已开展了企业层面的调查。自2005-2006年起，大部分数据收集工作集中在企业分析单位（FPDEA）内部。企业调查，作为投资环境调查的替代，现由企业分析单位负责进行。
黑山的投资环境调查于2003年6月进行，涵盖了制造业和零售/批发行业的100家企业。
调查是在塞尔维亚总理佐兰·季奇在任期内被暗杀，以及塞尔维亚和黑山面临极大不确定性的背景下进行的，因此调查结果必须在此背景下审视。
