The Country Private Sector Diagnostic (CPSD) seeks to unlock private sector-led growth and investment. Prepared jointly by the institutions of the World Bank Group, each report discusses the overall business environment within a country and provides a deeper analysis of specific sectors in which private sector investment could accelerate growth, if appropriate policy and regulatory issues are addressed.
CPSDs help identify untapped private investment opportunities and the barriers that stand in the way. The sector opportunities are chosen based on their potential to spur private investment, create jobs, generate domestic revenue, and foster sustainable, inclusive growth. The report helps countries prioritize the most impactful actions that can boost private sector growth, while delivering on broader development goals.
The Country Private Sector Diagnostic is one of the World Bank Group’s core country diagnostics produced to guide the design and implementation of public and private investment projects, budget support operations, advisory services, and other analytical work. They are intended to be of interest to domestic and foreign business investors, government officials, World Bank Group staff and management, civil society, and other development partners.
