Enterprise Surveys

Abstract

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. Questions contained in the ES aim at covering topics including 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 ES for Argentina. Business owners and top managers in 991 firms were interviewed between March 2017 and March 2018. The report provides a description of the sample breakdown across the three survey design categories: business sector, firm size, and location.
