Between 12 and 21 March 2002, the ICAP company conducted, on behalf of
the Bank of Greece, a special survey which covered a sample of 461 small, medium and big
commercial (retail trade) enterprises. The survey's aim was to look at the behavior of
these enterprises in the period immediately preceding, and in the three months following,
the introduction of euro banknotes and coins. The main findings of the survey were
presented in the annual Report of the Governor (April 2002, Box IV.1). The detailed
findings are included in the report prepared by ICAP.
