Riinvest Institute

Business Environment Survey Report

It is widely acknowledged and accepted that the improvement of a business climate - including financial, regulatory, legal, and institutional aspects - has a positive impact on the overall development of the private sector. To better understand the business climate and barriers to doing business in Kosovo, the Riinvest Institute runs a survey with about 600 businesses across all regions in Kosovo. The Institute uses Keshif to visualize the survey results across geographic regions, ownership type, sector and domain.

Insights

Regardless of revenue size, economic activity, or geographical location, businesses across Kosovo consider that the small market is a big barrier to doing business.

The second biggest barrier businesses face is corruption. The businesses that consider corruption to be a barrier, are also more likely to not trust Kosovo institutions, especially the politically elected ones.

Businesses that consider financing to be a problem are usually those that have been unable to utilize official forms of financing for opening their business - and have instead relied on their own capital.
