| Summary: | The World Bank interviewed a
representative sample of the private sector in 3 of the most
active economic regions in Namibia. The sample consisted of
580 business establishments surveyed from April 2014 through
February 2015. The Enterprise Survey (ES) covers several
topics of the business environment as well as performance
measures for each firm. This report presents following
highlights from the survey: Namibia’s private sector
experienced strong employment growth; in Namibia, more women
are engaged in the formal private sector at all levels;
customs clearance takes longer for smaller firms; access to
finance in Namibia appears to be less of a challenge
compared to 2006; Namibia’s electricity supply is generally
reliable; and access to finance and electricity continue to
be the biggest obstacles to private firms’ operations. |
