| Summary: | The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
pandemic and its negative economic effects create a need for
timely data and evidence to help monitor and mitigate the
social and economic impacts of the crisis. To monitor the
impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment
measures on formal firms in Zambia and to inform the policy
response, the World Bank is implementing several rounds of
phone-based surveys of firms. The surveys in Zambia are
follow-ons from the baseline enterprise survey that was
conducted in Zambia immediately prior to the pandemic. These
phone surveys allow for a better understanding of the
effects of and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic on firm
operations, hiring and firing, and expectations of future
operations and labor demand in order to better tailor and
implement interventions and policy responses and monitor
their effects. This note summarizes the results of round 2
(R2) of the survey, conducted between December 19, 2020 and
February 18, 2021. The information presented in this report
is based on the sample of 570 firms that responded to both
round 1 (R1) and round 2 (R2) surveys. |
