Abstract
The 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
3rd round of survey in July 2021, following the 1st round in
October 2020 and 2nd round of the Malaysia BPS in
Mid-January to February 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).
