ISLAMABAD ( Web News )
In 2022, 32% of Pakistani firms identified corruption as a major business constraint. This number has decreased from 59% in 2007 and 68% in 2013 – Gallup Pakistan Big Data Analysis on Corruption.
Gallup Pakistan, as part of its Big Data Analysis initiative, is looking at Corruption (2022). This data is part of a publication by the World Bank called the ‘Enterprise Survey 2022’.
Gallup Pakistan has not conducted the survey work. We are only analyzing the publicly disclosed data and reports provided by World Bank. This is a public service activity done on individual initiative of Gallup Pakistan and not in any way endorsed or commissioned or supported by WB or its agents.
What is the Big Data Analysis Series by Gallup:
Gallup Pakistan’s Big Data series was started by Bilal I Gilani, Executive Director of Gallup Pakistan. Bilal explains the rationale of the series: “The usual complaint from academics and policy makers is that Pakistan does not have data availability. At Gallup we plan to bridge this gap in terms of accessibility and use of data. The Gallup Big Data series has earlier worked with data sets such as PSLM, Labor Force Survey, and Economic Survey reports as well as National Census Reports and Election Commission Data sets. The current series is using the World Bank Enterprise Survey, a periodic compilation which reports facts and perceptions of enterprises and businesses operating in Pakistan. We hope that these series are useful, and we welcome both feedback as well as possible collaborations as we create a public good in the form of useful data sets in Pakistan.
What data points this current edition covers:
This series aims to present the important learnings from the Enterprise Survey 2022 for policy makers, the public, as well as for marketers in an easy and understandable way. In particular, this edition looks at Business Informality as of 2022. Corruption can negatively affect a country by hindering economic growth and distorting competition for businesses. The series’ main aim is to provide data. Implications of these data points for the development sector as well as wider socio-political ramifications is something we would like to trigger in relevant circles.
