This report studies impediments to
investment and private sector development in Albania, Bosnia
and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the former Yugoslav
Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, Romania, and Serbia and
Montenegro. It aims to yield fundamentally new insights for
improving the region's business environment, economic
development, and prospects for growth. It focuses on four
core topics: 1) Business competition and economic barriers
to entry and exit; 2) Access to regulated utilities and
services; 3) Corporate ownership, transparency of business
accounts, and access to finance; and 4) Mechanisms for
commercial dispute resolution. Each topic is empirically
investigated across all eight South Eastern European
countries through the systematic use of data from multiple
sources: Official data from each country in the region;
results from two annual rounds of quantitative, firm-level
surveys covering 1,600 firms; and results from 40 originally
developed enterprise-level business case studies. The result
is an innovative analysis of cross-country comparisons and
the development of key policy challenges from a regional
perspective. The report ends by making concrete
recommendations for reforms that would ease the constraints
on domestic and foreign investment, an essential step in
sustaining growth and reducing poverty in the region. |
