Lao PDR - Private Sector and Investment Climate Assessment : Reducing Investment Climate Constraints to Higher Growth
The survey on Lao private sector and
investment climate covered 303 firms in six sectors and
seven provinces (Vientiane City, Oudomxay, Luang Prabang,
Luangnamtha, Xayaboury, Savannakhet, and Champassack). The
survey included 246 firms in manufacturing covering wood
processing, construction materials, garments,
textiles/handicraft, and food and beverage sectors and 57
firms in tourism covering hotels, tour operators, and travel
agencies. With the exception of the garment and wood
processing sectors, which traditionally have larger firms
and more foreign investment, most firms in the sample were
domestic small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The survey
provided three types of information useful for the
Investment Climate Assessment: perceptions of firms
operating in Lao PDR regarding the relative importance of
investment climate constraints to their businesses;
quantitative data on firms' performance and
productivity; and comparator country information from their
ICAs, for benchmarking Lao PDR's investment climate
against regional standards.
