| Summary: | The Enterprise Surveys (ES) focus on
many aspects of the business environment. 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 Colombia. Business owners and top
managers in 993 firms were interviewed between June 2017 and
June 2018. Figure 2 provides a description of the sample
breakdown across the three survey design categories:
business sector, firm size, and location. |
