Create your own customized tables and graphs for precisely the indicators, countries/groups, stratificaton (categorizing the data by firm size, sector, ownership, exporter), and statistics (average, count, standard deviation, minimum, maximum) that you are interested in for your own reports.

The Bank’s Enterprise Surveys team has launched a custom query tool called Do Your Own Analysis. It allows users to slice and dice firm-level, microeconomic data across 172 indicators from over 100 countries. Each query generates a custom graph that the user can cut and paste.These surveys measure business perceptions of the investment climate in countries, based on data from over 66,000 firms worldwide. They can be used to analyze
job creation and growth trends.
