Growing Gap between Natural and Legal Persons in Business

An official report on the development of local business in the past year has been published, prepared by the Ministry of Economy and Industry.

Last year, the number of businesses in Azerbaijan reached 614 423. Most of them are individuals engaged in business (84.6%), and the rest are legal persons, mostly LLC. The difference also increased - the number of legal entities increased by 9%, while the number of individuals increased by 12.5%.

The main part of the gross domestic product (81.9%) was developed in the private sector, while its share declined slightly - from 85% in 2013.

In industrial production (79.5%) and employment (73.4%) the private sector also leads. This is achieved due to the fact that the major government contractors create many private businesses and order the work to them. --17D-
