Transition report 2005
The Transition Report offers an in-depth analysis of economic progress in 27 countries from central Europe to central Asia. Drawing on the EBRD's experience as one of the largest investors in the region, the Report provides comprehensive analysis of the transition from central planning to market economies.
Over the past year significant progress has been achieved by many transition countries. But to what extent is progress in the transition countries still hampered by poor economic governance and widespread corruption? And how do firms in the region view the business environment and their prospects for growth?
This year's Transition Report draws on the findings of a survey of over 9,500 companies interviewed for the latest Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS). While the business environment in the transition region has generally improved since the last survey in 2002, there is considerable variation between countries.

This year's Transition Report draws on the findings of a survey of over 9,500 companies interviewed for the latest Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey (BEEPS). While the business environment in the transition region has generally improved since the last survey in 2002, there is considerable variation between countries.
The Report analyses what kinds of firms are particularly affected by a difficult business environment and compares the transition countries with mature market economies. The high costs of business regulation, a poor institutional framework, weak property rights and an unstable macroeconomic environment all emerge from the survey as major obstacles to doing business in transition countries.
The Report also takes a close look at the performance of enterprises in the region. It assesses what types of firms - private or state-owned, foreign or domestic - have been the most successful in increasing their sales and improving efficiency and highlights the main factors that influence a firm's performance.
The final section of the Report consists of a country-by-country assessment of the latest progress in structural reform and macroeconomic developments. Extensive tables and charts provide the latest data on output, employment, inflation, the trade balance, foreign direct investment and many other indicators. Vissza
