These factors can be accommodating or constraining for firms and play an important role in whether an economy’s private sector will thrive 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. Questions contained in the ES aim at covering most of the topics mentioned above. The topics include infrastructure, trade, finance, regulations, taxes and business licensing, corruption, crime and informality, access to finance, innovation, labor, and perceptions about obstacles to doing business. This document summarizes the results of the Enterprise Survey for Lao PDR. Business owners and top managers in 368 firms were interviewed from January 2016 to June 2016. 2017-01-24T18:35:48Z 2017-01-24T18:35:48Z 2016 Survey http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/214641482731818886/Enterprise-surveys-Lao-PDR-country-profile-2016 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/25905 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Working Paper East Asia and Pacific Lao People's Democratic Republic
