The Firm-Level Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The World Bank commissioned a firm-level survey to provide quantitative evidence of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in Myanmar. The nationally representative survey included firms spanning a wide range of industries and firm sizes, as well as the formal and informal sectors. The first round was completed in May, and seven subsequent rounds conducted between June and December 2020 will provide continuous information on the evolving impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the country. This brief focuses on the summary of results from first round.
