| Summary: | The chart compares the performance of
Nepali firms in 2009 and in 2013 by three performance
measures: sales, employment, and labor productivity. Firms
are performing at comparable levels compared to four years
ago. However, Nepali firms perform slightly better in terms
of annual employment growth compared to 2009. The Enterprise
Survey covers several topics of the business environment as
well as performance measures for each firm. The main
highlights from the survey are: the average wait times for
obtaining permits and licenses are shorter in Nepal compared
to other countries; firms in Nepal report higher rates of
female participation; the Nepali private sector considers
political instability as the biggest business environment
obstacle small firms; firms in Nepal are compensating for
the poor electricity infrastructure through the use of
generators; and small firms in Nepal require higher
collateral values for loans compared to larger firms. |
