This critical situation has imposed tough challenges against the Palestinian economy that would require observation, following up and monitoring the Palestinian institutions' economic conditions during the pandemic in order to measure the size of changes that have occurred on those institutions ' economic conditions, as well as being comparable with normal and exceptional conditions. To that end, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) took the responsibility of implementing the COVID-19 Business Pulse Survey, as well as providing necessary data to meet the needs of policy and decision makers from both the private and public sectors, in addition to civil society and international institutions in a manner that contributes to developing programs and interventions that can mitigate the impacts and consequences of this pandemic.
