Firm Level Data
Progress in this area has been somewhat slow. The process was initiated by holding an Expert Group Meeting in Cairo on March 14, 2010 to review existing data and define a niche for ERF. While the meeting was informative in terms of identifying a number of data sources, it was concluded that a systematic review of the nature and accessibility of such datasets in the region was necessary. Accordingly, ERF commissioned a paper to that effect, to be written by Izak Atiyas.
