Firm-level surveys have been conducted since 1998 by different units within the World Bank. Since 2005-06, most data collection efforts have been centralized within the Enterprise Analysis Unit. Enterprise Surveys are conducted every three to four years across all geographic regions and cover small, medium, and large companies. Data are used to create indicators that benchmark the quality of the business and investment climate across countries. This research was conducted in Nepal from March 8 to June 15, 2009, as part of the Enterprise Survey initiative. The objective of the survey is to obtain feedback from enterprises in client countries on the state of the private sector as well as to help in building a panel of enterprise data that will make it possible to track changes in the business environment over time, thus allowing, for example, impact assessments of reforms. Through interviews with firms in the manufacturing and services sectors, the survey assesses the constraints to private sector growth and creates statistically significant business environment indicators that are comparable across countries. The standard Enterprise Survey topics include firm characteristics, gender participation, access to finance, annual sales, costs of inputs/labor, workforce composition, bribery, licensing, infrastructure, trade, crime, competition, capacity utilization, land and permits, taxation, informality, business-government relations, innovation and technology, and performance measures. Over 90% of the questions objectively ascertain characteristics of a country’s business environment. The remaining questions assess the survey respondents’ opinions on what are the obstacles to firm growth and performance. The mode of data collection is face-to-face interviews. Nepal National The primary sampling unit of the study is the establishment. An establishment is a physical location where business is carried out and where industrial operations take place or services are provided. A firm may be composed of one or more establishments. For example, a brewery may have several bottling plants and several establishments for distribution. For the purposes of this survey an establishment must make its own financial decisions and have its own financial statements separate from those of the firm. An establishment must also have its own management and control over its payroll. The whole population, or the universe, covered in the Enterprise Surveys is the non-agricultural economy. It comprises: all manufacturing sectors according to the ISIC Revision 3.1 group classification (group D), construction sector (group F), services sector (groups G and H), and transport, storage, and communications sector (group I). Note that this population definition excludes the following sectors: financial intermediation (group J), real estate and renting activities (group K, except sub-sector 72, IT, which was added to the population under study), and all public or utilities sectors. Sample survey data [ssd] Solutions Consultant Pvt. Ltd. The sample for Nepal was selected using stratified random sampling. Three levels of stratification were used in this country: industry, establishment size, and region. Industry stratification was designed at three levels: the universe was stratified into manufacturing, retail, and other services industries. Other services were further divided into tourism and non-tourism as the World Bank wanted to oversample tourism firms. The initial sample design for the n=480 Enterprise Survey had a target of 180 interviews in manufacturing, 150 retail, 75 other services - tourism, and 75 interviews in other services - non-tourism. Size stratification was defined following the standardized definition used for the Enterprise Surveys: small (5 to 19 employees), medium (20 to 99 employees), and large (100 or more employees). 360 interviews were targeted for the Enterprise Survey (small, medium, and large firms) with an oversampling of large firms given the high prevalence of micro and small firms in Nepal. Regional stratification was defined in terms of the geographic regions with the main cities of economic activity in the country. Western Nepal included Butwal, Dhangadhi, Nepalgunj, and Pokhara; Central Nepal included Banepa, Bhaktapur, Bharatpur, Birgunj, Hetauda, Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Simara; Eastern Nepal included Bhadrapur, Biratnagar, and Itahari. Initially a sample frame was sought from the Government of Nepal and from appropriate trade associations; but the lists that were obtained were deemed incomplete and potentially out of date. In consultation with the contractor, the World Bank decided to undertake block enumeration, i.e. the contractor would physically create a list of establishments from which to sample from. In total, the contractor enumerated 6,755 establishments for the survey fieldwork. Detailed information about block enumeration strategy can be can be found in "Description of Nepal Implementation 2009" in "Technical Documents" folder. Face-to-face [f2f] The current survey instruments are available: - Core Questionnaire + Manufacturing Module [ISIC Rev.3.1: 15-37] in English with Nepali translation - Core Questionnaire + Retail Module [ISIC Rev.3.1: 52] in English with Nepali translation - Core Questionnaire [ISIC Rev.3.1: 45, 50, 51, 55, 60-64, 72] in English with Nepali translation - Screener Questionnaire in English. The “Core Questionnaire” is the heart of the Enterprise Survey and contains the survey questions asked of all firms across the world. There are also two other survey instruments - the “Core Questionnaire + Manufacturing Module” and the “Core Questionnaire + Retail Module.” The survey is fielded via three instruments in order to not ask questions that are irrelevant to specific types of firms, e.g. a question that relates to production and nonproduction workers should not be asked of a retail firm. In addition to questions that are asked across countries, all surveys are customized and contain country-specific questions. An example of customization would be including tourism-related questions that are asked in certain countries when tourism is an existing or potential sector of economic growth. The standard Enterprise Survey topics include firm characteristics, gender participation, access to finance, annual sales, costs of inputs/labor, workforce composition, bribery, licensing, infrastructure, trade, crime, competition, capacity utilization, land and permits, taxation, informality, business-government relations, innovation and technology, and performance measures. Over 90% of the questions objectively ascertain characteristics of a country’s business environment. The remaining questions assess the survey respondents’ opinions on what are the obstacles to firm growth and performance. Private contractors conduct the Enterprise Surveys on behalf of the World Bank. Due to sensitive survey questions addressing business-government relations and corruption-related topics, private contractors are preferred over any government agency or an organization/institution associated with government, and are hired by the World Bank to collect the data. The Enterprise Surveys are usually implemented following a two-stage procedure. In the first stage, a screener questionnaire is applied over the phone to determine eligibility and to make appointments; in the second stage, a face-to-face interview takes place with the Manager/Owner/Director of each establishment. Sometimes the survey respondent calls company accountants and human resource managers into the interview to answer questions in the sales and labor sections of the survey. In Nepal, the relevant information for the sampled firms had already been collected during the block enumeration stage. The data collection team started the study by verifying the information required in the screener. The verification was typically conducted over the phone. More than 85% of the firms were called in for appointments. However, some of the establishments in the sample did not have correct phone number, or had no phone number at all. In such cases, the team had to visit these businesses and make an appointment with a potential respondent. All Enterprise Surveys are conducted in the local languages. Complete information regarding the sampling methodology, sample frame, weights, response rates, and implementation can be found in "Description of Nepal Implementation 2009" in "Technical Documents" folder. Since the sampling design was stratified and employed differential sampling of the strata, individual observations should be properly weighted when making inferences about the population. Under stratified random sampling, unweighted estimates are biased unless sample sizes are proportional to the size of each stratum. With stratification the probability of selection of each unit is, in general, not the same. Consequently, individual observations must be weighted by the inverse of their probability of selection (probability weights or pa in Stata, which is equivalent to the weighted average of the estimates for each stratum, with weights equal to the population shares of each stratum). Weights for each cell were computed this way: universe cell estimates are divided by the achieved cell counts. Data entry and quality controls are implemented by the contractor and data is delivered to the World Bank in batches (typically 10%, 50% and 100%). These data deliveries are checked for logical consistency, out of range values, skip patterns, and duplicate entries. Problems are flagged by the World Bank and corrected by the implementing contractor through data checks, callbacks, and revisiting establishments. The overall survey response rate for the Nepal Enterprise survey was 95% (486 completed interviews / 513 attempted interviews). The response rate was very high because eligible firms were keenly aware of the survey project during the block enumeration phase where they were shown the letters of introduction from the World Bank and other stakeholders; hence they were less likely to refuse the actual survey during the fieldwork phase of the project. The Nepal Enterprise survey response rate was quite high for establishment-level surveys and the contractor did an excellent job at encouraging respondents to respond to sensitive questions (thereby minimizing item non-response). For example the item response rate for variable d2, establishment's total annual sales in the last fiscal year, one of the most sensitive questions, had a 99% item response rate (480/486). Complete information regarding the sampling methodology, sample frame, weights, response rates, and implementation can be found in "Description of Nepal Implementation 2009" in "Technical Documents" folder. Confidentiality of the survey respondents and the sensitive information they provide is necessary to ensure the greatest degree of survey participation, integrity and confidence in the quality of the data. Surveys are usually carried out in cooperation with business organizations and government agencies promoting job creation and economic growth, but confidentiality is never compromised.

The goal of this survey is to gather information and opinions about the investment climate in this country. Ultimately, the information gathered here will help to develop new policies and programs that enhance employment and economic growth. The information obtained here will be held in the strictest confidentiality. Neither your name nor the name of your business will be used in any document based on this survey. 2) READ OUT THE FOLLOWING INTRODUCTORY SENTENCE ONLY IF A7 = 1 (yes): The first few questions apply to the firm which your establishment is part of. 3) SHOW CARD What is this firm‘s current legal status? If answer is 3 then SKIP TO B.2 A firm's legal status is information well known for the target respondent: CEO, General Manager or owner of the firm. ENUMERATORS DO NOT NEED TO KNOW THE DEFINITION OF EACH TYPE OF LEGAL STATUS. A firm's legal status is first determined by whether participation on ownership is by shares (first 2 options) or not (options 3 and 4). The fifth option is a combination of the previous ones. If a firm's shares are publicly traded, it is a shareholding company with shares traded in the stock market. If the shares are not traded or they are traded only privately it is a shareholding company with shares traded privately. A shareholding company with shares traded privately is a firm that is owned by partners or shareholders for whom their claims over the firm are not publicly traded. They may or may not be traded privately. In both of these categories firms have limited liability. A sole proprietorship is a business owned and operated by one individual natural person. A natural person is a real human being, as opposed to an artificial legal entity such as a corporation or organization that the law treats for some purposes as if it were a person distinct from its members or owner(s). A firm's legal status defines the extent of the liability which defines the level of responsibility of the owner over the firm's obligations. Under limited liability each owner is only responsible for the proportion of his/her shares. A partnership allows two or more people to share profits and liabilities, with or without privately held shares. In a partnership, the parties could be individuals, corporations, trusts, other partnerships, or a combination of all of the above. The essential characteristic of this partnership is the unlimited liability of every partner. Limited partnership is a legal form that includes one or several general partners and one or more limited partners who invest capital into the partnership, but do not take part in the daily operation or management of the business. The limited partners limit their amount of liability to the amount of capital invested in the partnership. The general partners personally shoulder all debts and obligations of the partnership. Business operations are governed, unless otherwise specified in a written agreement, by majority vote of voting partners. Limited liability partnerships are separate legal entities that provide liability protection for all general partners as well as management rights in the business. Cooperatives and state owned firms should be designated as Other. When other is chosen, the actual form of legal status must be specified in writing by the enumerator on the survey instrument. 368 -9 dont know 1 shareholding company with shares 2 shareholding company with non tr 3 sole proprietorship 4 partnership 5 limited pertnership 6 other b1x.other (specify) b1x.other (specify) b1x.other (specify) b1x.other (specify) b1x.other (specify) What is this firm's current legal status?

In fiscal year 2007 2008, what were this establishment's total annual sales? Total sales include the value of all annual sales counting manufactured goods and goods the establishment has bought for trading. For ex. if an establishment makes blue jeans and also imports blue jeans for resale, total sales is the value of all blue jeans sold, both produced and imported. Revenue or receipts for all services rendered and any sales of merchandise for the year, even if the payment may have been received at a later date, are included in total sales. 368 -9 120000 144000 150000 171652 192000 240000 250000 300000 345000 350000 400000 450000 480000 500000 600000 700000 720000 800000 981000 1000000 1080000 1081300 1140000 1200000 1300000 1320000 1350000 1400000 1440000 1460000 1500000 1580000 1600000 1700000 1780000 1800000 1900000 2000000 2007512 2088000 2160000 2190000 2200000 2400000 2500000 2520000 2555000 2600000 2800000 2850000 3000000 3200000 3500000 3600000 3650000 3680000 4000000 4070000 4100000 4200000 4226000 4500000 5000000 5400000 6000000 6500000 7000000 7054803 7100000 7200000 7500000 8000000 8100000 8178940 8900000 9000000 9125000 9500000 9581929 10000000 10500000 10700000 11200000 11400000 12000000 12500000 13200000 13700000 13814578 14000000 14400000 14500000 14600000 15000000 15200000 16467290 16988000 17000000 17500000 18000000 18300000 18948999 19000000 19299702 20000000 24000000 25000000 25550000 26038567 28000000 28433324 29506815 30000000 32000000 34500000 36000000 40000000 43000000 45000000 50000000 52127486 52500000 55000000 56729000 59127187 60000000 63087357 70000000 80000000 84240000 89000000 100000000 103500000 110776000 111758882 120000000 130000000 135000000 150000000 152556024 160000000 180000000 200000000 250000000 252000000 280000000 300000000 340000000 380000000 400000000 480000000 500000000 628466601 690000000 770000000 1500000000 2140000000 3500000000 7000000000 what % of establishment's sales were: national sales? what % of establishment's sales were: national sales? what % of establishment's sales were: national sales? what % of establishment's sales were: national sales? what % of establishment's sales were: national sales? 1) SHOW CARD 2) INTERVIEWER: THESE MUST BE ASKED IN THE ORDER THEY APPEAR ON THE TABLE In fiscal year 2007 2008, what percent of this establishment's sales were: National sales IF 100, GO TO QUESTION EAd8n 1) Where sales are made.

In fiscal year 2007 2008,when this establishment exported goods directly, how many days did it take on average from the time this establishment's goods arrived at their main point of exit (e.g., port, airport) until the time these goods cleared customs? Clearing customs for direct exports. The purpose of this question is to determine the efficiency of customs in clearing goods for export. Main point of exit is the last domestic location (e.g. port, border crossing, airport, or internal custom) from which the goods leave the country. Whenever different ports of exit are used this question refers to the port where “most goods” exit defined in terms of consignment value (not physical units). Goods cleared customs They refer to the time it takes to obtain all clearances required from the moment the goods arrived at their point of exit until the moment they satisfy the requirements of the clearance procedures at the customs office. This includes transit procedures. Average number of days to clear customs. Prompt the respondent to think of all shipments sent to the main point of exit and estimate an average time it took from the time the shipments arrived to the time they left that point of exit. 27 341 -9 dont know 1 less than one day 2 3 5 7 10 15 30 40 105 Sysmiss in reference to the customs clearance for exports, was an informal gift expected in reference to the customs clearance for exports, was an informal gift expected in reference to the customs clearance for exports, was an informal gift expected in reference to the customs clearance for exports, was an informal gift expected in reference to the customs clearance for exports, was an informal gift expected In reference to the customs clearance for exports, was an informal gift or payment expected or requested? 22 346 -9 dont know -8 ref 1 yes 2 no Sysmiss proportion of exports transported through: road(in percentage) proportion of exports transported through: road(in percentage) proportion of exports transported through: road(in percentage) proportion of exports transported through: road(in percentage) proportion of exports transported through: road(in percentage) In fiscal year 2007 2008, as a proportion of all exports what percent was transported through: Road 22 346 -9 dont know 1 25 90 100 Sysmiss proportion of exports transported through: air(in percentage) proportion of exports transported through: air(in percentage) proportion of exports transported through: air(in percentage) proportion of exports transported through: air(in percentage) proportion of exports transported through: air(in percentage) In fiscal year 2007 2008, as a proportion of all exports what percent was transported through: Air 22 346 -9 dont know 10 25 98 100 Sysmiss proportion of exports transported through: sea(in percentage) proportion of exports transported through: sea(in percentage) proportion of exports transported through: sea(in percentage) proportion of exports transported through: sea(in percentage) proportion of exports transported through: sea(in percentage) In fiscal year 2007 2008, as a proportion of all exports what percent was transported through: Sea 22 346 -9 dont know 1 75 100 Sysmiss which port/border crossing did this establishment mainly use for export products which port/border crossing did this establishment mainly use for export products which port/border crossing did this establishment mainly use for export products which port/border crossing did this establishment mainly use for export products which port/border crossing did this establishment mainly use for export products Which port or border crossing did this establishment mainly use for export products? 22 346 -9 dont know 1 kathmandu international airport 2 border crossing to india 3 border crossing to china Sysmiss main export country main export country main export country main export country main export country What was the main export destination? 22 BHUTAN CHINA EUROPE INDIA Tibet USA Percentage of lost value of exported products because of thef in transit in 2007 2008 Percentage of lost value of exported products because of thef in transit in 2007 2008 Percentage of lost value of exported products because of thef in transit in 2007 2008 Percentage of lost value of exported products because of thef in transit in 2007 2008 Percentage of lost value of exported products because of thef in transit in 2007 2008 In fiscal year 2007 2008, what percent of the consignment value of the products exported directly was lost while in transit because of theft? 27 341 -9 dont know no lossess 5 Sysmiss % value directly exported products lost in transit by breakage or spoilage, 2007 2008 % value directly exported products lost in transit by breakage or spoilage, 2007 2008 % value directly exported products lost in transit by breakage or spoilage, 2007 2008 % value directly exported products lost in transit by breakage or spoilage, 2007 2008 % value directly exported products lost in transit by breakage or spoilage, 2007 2008 In fiscal year 2007 2008, what percent of the consignment value of the products exported directly was lost while in transit because of breakage or spoilage? 27 341 -9 dont know no lossess 1 2 5 10 Sysmiss in what year did this establishment first export directly or indirectly? in what year did this establishment first export directly or indirectly? in what year did this establishment first export directly or indirectly? in what year did this establishment first export directly or indirectly? in what year did this establishment first export directly or indirectly?

INTERVIEWER: IF RESPONDENT REQUIRES CLARIFICATION, DEFINE AS STOCK ON HAND Days of inventory of main sales item The purpose of this question is to assess the efficiency in the supply chain. When firms have to maintain a high level of sales items in stock, because they cannot rely on a predictable supply, this is a source of economic inefficiency. Inversely, if supplies of the main sales can be relied upon to be easily available, firms will keep low levels of stock on hand. The main sales item is the item that accounts for the highest percentage of sales among all items that the establishment sells. It is not the item for which stock is maintained the longest. Days of inventory should be calculated as how many days it would take, under normal sales conditions, to deplete the main sales item held in supply at the establishment's premises. 113 255 -9 dont know 1 4 7 8 10 15 20 25 30 40 45 60 90 100 180 360 365 Sysmiss in 2007 2008, what % value of products sent to domestic mkts were stolen in transit? in 2007 2008, what % value of products sent to domestic mkts were stolen in transit? in 2007 2008, what % value of products sent to domestic mkts were stolen in transit? in 2007 2008, what % value of products sent to domestic mkts were stolen in transit? in 2007 2008, what % value of products sent to domestic mkts were stolen in transit?

At the present time, when this establishment receives delivery of its most important input, on average, how many days of inventory, measured in days of production, does this establishment keep? INTERVIEWER: IF RESPONDENT REQUIRES CLARIFICATION, DEFINE AS STOCK ON HAND Days of inventory of main input. The purpose of this question is to assess the efficiency in the supply chain. When firms have to maintain a high level of stock, because they cannot rely on a predictable supply of inputs, this is a source of economic inefficiency. Inversely, if supplies of the main input can be relied upon to be easily available, firms will keep low levels of stock on hand. The main input is the input that accounts for the highest value among all inputs. It is not the input for which stock is maintained the longest. For example, if a company makes shirts, the most important input is the cloth, not the buttons and thread, though the establishment may actually keep a 90 day supply of buttons on hand and only a 30 day stock of cloth. Days of inventory should be calculated as the number of days of normal production capacity before running out of stock. 137 231 -9 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 10 14 15 20 25 30 35 45 60 75 90 120 150 180 Sysmiss from the following list, what is the main transportation obstacles by road? from the following list, what is the main transportation obstacles by road? from the following list, what is the main transportation obstacles by road? from the following list, what is the main transportation obstacles by road? from the following list, what is the main transportation obstacles by road?

Local - main product sold mostly in same municipality where establishment is located National - main product sold mostly across the country where establishment is located International - main product sold mostly to nations outside country where establishment is located If answer is 3 or Don't Know then GO TO QUESTION E.6 The purpose of this question is to get the establishment to define what it considers to be its main market. The main product is defined by the output that generates the highest proportion of sales. The establishment's main market is defined by the market that generates the most sales for the main product as defined above. It could be the case that an establishment's main product is sold in smaller proportions in a greater number of markets and that the main product is never the greatest total annual share of revenue in any one market. For example, 51 percent of revenue comes from selling nails, but that is distributed equally in the local, national, and international markets, 33 percent in each. Bolts make up 49 percent of total annual revenues. However, half of the revenue for bolts comes from selling in the international market and half in the local market. It is clear that bolts sell more in its respective market with respect to nails, but does not generate as much revenue as nails do for the establishment. In such a case, nails should be used as the main product. Whenever local, national and international markets have equal shares choose the national market and do not follow the skip pattern. 137 231 -9 dont know 1 local- main product sold mostly 2 national- main product sold most 3 internationa Sysmiss how many competitors did this establishment’s main product/product line face? how many competitors did this establishment’s main product/product line face? how many competitors did this establishment’s main product/product line face? how many competitors did this establishment’s main product/product line face? how many competitors did this establishment’s main product/product line face?
