This report provides a snapshot of the business environment in Georgia as of 2006. The sample was specifically constructed to be representative of the Georgian SME sector, with firms selected based on a fixed quota established for each business sector and region. The entire survey (covering 1880 small and medium enterprises and sole proprietors) was carried out in Tbilisi and ten regions of Georgia in spring 2006, with participants answering 162 questions on numerous aspects of their operations. The survey sample and methodology were designed to make it possible to collect data comparable to the data IFC collected through its baseline survey of Georgian entrepreneurs in 2004. By comparing 2006 results with the baseline established in 2004, this report is able to monitor changes in the business climate, as witnessed by typical Georgian entrepreneurs operating in key sectors of the economy. In addition to the quantitative assessment provided by the survey, numerous focus groups and in-depth interviews were held with business representatives, in order to provide a qualitative assessment of the changes that have occurred in the past few years. These discussions helped to refine and prioritize survey results, and have been of value in developing and testing the report's main findings.
