Challenges to Enterprise Performance in the Face of the Financial Crisis: Eastern Europe and Central Asia

The book examines how constraints like access to finance, labor skills, and education influence firm performance across 29 Eastern European and Central Asian countries. It reveals that enterprises experience different levels of pressure based on their specific features, locations, available resources, and the governance and regulatory environment of their countries. Additionally, it assesses the performance of the enterprise sector in relation to these factors, providing insights at the conclusion of nearly two decades of transition.
