| description |
he country profile for Uganda is based
on data from the enterprise surveys conducted by the World
Bank in 2013. The enterprise surveys focus on the many
factors that shape the decisions of firms to invest. These
factors can be accommodating or constraining and play an
important role in whether a country will prosper or not. An
accommodating business environment is one that encourages
firms to operate efficiently. Such conditions strengthen
incentives for firms to innovate and to increase
productivity, key factors for sustainable development. A
more productive private sector, in turn, expands employment
and contributes taxes necessary for public investment in
health, education, and other services. In contrast, a poor
business environment increases the obstacles to conducting
business activities and decreases a countryapos;s prospects
for reaching its potential in terms of employment,
production, and welfare. Enterprise surveys are conducted by
the World Bank and its partners across all geographic
regions and cover small, medium, and large companies. The
surveys are applied to a representative sample of firms in
the non-agricultural economy. The sample is consistently
defined in all countries and includes the entire
manufacturing sector, the services sector, and the
transportation and construction sectors. Public utilities,
government services, health care, and financial services
sectors are not included in the sample. Enterprise surveys
collect a wide array of qualitative and quantitative
information through face-to-face interviews with firm
managers and owners regarding the business environment in
their countries and the productivity of their firms. The
topics covered in enterprise surveys include the obstacles
to doing business, infrastructure, finance, labor,
corruption and regulation, law and order, innovation and
technology, trade, and firm productivity. |
