In the course of 2005 the Local Economic Development (LED) program completed business attitude surveys (BAS) in sixteen Ukrainian municipalities. The surveys in Ivano-Frankivsk, Kalush, Kaniv, Pryluky, Pavlohrad and Chortkiv were conducted in May 2005 while businesses in Kovel, Drohobych, Ternopil, Kamyanets Podilsky, Brovary, Nizhyn, Yevpatoria, Dzhankoy, Kupyansk and Rovenky were surveyed in September and November 2005.
The objective of the surveys was to provide the members of Strategic Development Committees (SDC) formulating LED strategies with analytical information on their local business and investment climate. Survey items included the history and current status of the company, the nature of its business, labor and employee relations, business facility information, government services, and overall impressions of the individual cities as a place to do business. A detailed BAS report has been created for each city; however a majority of information gathered within these surveys can be synthesized and generalized.
The aggregated results report includes answers of 559 companies providing job opportunities to almost 106 thousand employees. Although a survey of 559 companies located in 16 cities cannot definitively reflect the attitudes of the entire Ukrainian business community, these firms, large and small, traditional and new represent an appropriate sample of the country’s contemporary enterprises and this report provides valuable information on its business and investment climate.
