Summary
The World Business Environment Survey (WBES) was launched in 1998 to evaluate the investment climate by measuring the state of investment from 10,000 firms across 80 countries and one territory. Areas such as the business and governance environment, the quality of public service and enterprise performance are compared. The publication also includes the original questionnaire from which the survey findings are compiled. A CD-ROM provides the complete WBES core database.
