Abstract
The Coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) business pulse survey (BPS) is a rapid survey
designed to measure the various channels of impact of
COVID-19 on firms, firm adjustment strategies, and public
policy responses. The World Bank, in collaboration with a
private survey company, conducted the 4th round of the
Malaysia BPS in February to March 2022, following the 1st
round in October 2020, 2nd round in Mid-January to February
2021, and 3rd round in July 2021. Firms were sampled
randomly from an online business panel database, which
consists of 100,000+ companies in all sectors and sizes,
across Peninsular and East Malaysia. A minimum sample size
was obtained for sectors that are important to Malaysia’s
economy and are sensitive to the COVID-19 crisis
(export-oriented activities: electronics, automotive,
tourism related activities) while preserving the sectoral
shares in the sampling frame. The survey was conducted
online and yielded 1,500 responses from respondents in
senior management positions at their company (i.e. owners,
C-suite or Director level).
