Introduction Investment Climate The term “investment climate” describes the many factors that contribute to shaping the decisions of firms to invest productively. These factors can be accommodating or constraining and play an important role in whether a country prospers or not. A good investment climate encourages firms to operate efficiently and competitively by decreasing risks, costs, and barriers to competition. Such an environment strengthens incentives for firms to innovate and to increase their productivity—a key factor in sustainable development. A more productive private sector, in turn, expands employment and contributes taxes necessary for public investment in health, education, and other services. In contrast, a poor investment climate increases the obstacles to conducting business activities and decreases a country’s prospects for reaching its potential in terms of employment, production, and welfare. Investment Climate Survey The Investment Climate Survey (ICS) is conducted by the World Bank and its partners across all geographic regions and covers firms of all sizes in many industries. For countries in the Europe & Central Asia (ECA) region, the project is administered in conjunction with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and branded as the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS). The ICS collects a wide array of qualitative and quantitative information through face-to-face interviews with managers and owners regarding the investment climate in their country and the productivity of their firms. Topics covered in the ICS include the obstacles to doing business, infrastructure, finance, labor, corruption and regulation, contract enforcement, law and order, innovation and technology, and firm productivity. Taken together, the qualitative and quantitative data help connect a country’s investment climate characteristics with firm productivity and performance. The ICS database is intended to be useful for both policymakers and researchers, and the surveys are to be repeated over time to track changes and benchmark the effects of reforms. Country Profiles The country profiles produced by the Investment Climate Unit (CICIC) of the World Bank Group provide an overview of key investment climate indicators for a country with benchmarks against their respective geographical region and a standard group of countries with similar incomes. Breakdowns by firm size are contained in tables at the back of the document along with all statistics used in the graphs. A fixed set of topics is covered for all countries with slight variations in indicators (subject to data availability). This format allows comparisons of countries across topics. All indicators are based on the responses of firms. To learn more about the firms sampled for this country profile (additional indicators and tabulations by industry, exports, and ownership) or to download profiles of other countries, please visit the ICS home page listed below. Currently available at the ICS website are survey results on the investment climate in some 60 countries, based on data from more than 28,000 firms. http://rru.worldbank.org/InvestmentClimate
CHINA 2003 The country profile for China is based on data from the Investment Climate Survey conducted by the World Bank in 2003. The benchmarks include the averages of countries in East Asia and Pacific and the lower middle income group. Below is a snapshot of the constraints to investment and doing business as perceived by firms. The first graph presents the top 10 constraints as identified by firms in China benchmarked against the regional average. The second graph shows the top 3 constraints for small, medium, and large firms in China.

Corruption & Regulatory Burden failures productive The manner in which govern- ments regulate plays a signifi- cant role in shaping investment decisions and how firms do Effective regulations business. address market that inhibit investment and reconcile private and public interests. Yet, regulations pre- sent major administrative and financial burdens on firms when poorly designed or ineffectively implemented. Often, these costs are in the form of bribes when firms are required to make “unofficial” payments to public officials to get things done. Climate Investment Surveys provide qualitative and quanti- tative measures of corruption and the regulatory burden.
