Bader will, under the agreement, conduct the Executive Opinion Survey (EOS) for GCN and the company will use the results of the survey to include Lebanon, for the first time, in the Global Competitiveness Report (GCR).

The GCR ranking is an assessment  of comparative strengths and weaknesses of the national economies. It was first established in 1979 and it now covers 134 major and emerging economies.

The Executive Opinion Survey gathers information on a broad range of variables for which hard data sources are scarce or nonexistent from high level business executives operating in Lebanon.

President of Bader, Robert Fadel,said that it is vital that each executive sampled completes the survey to ensure that Lebanon has accurate and reliable data in the Report.
