Georgia has recorded a significant discrepancy between the number of registered companies and actual economic activity. According to Sakstat, as of early June 2026, there are 1,127,945 business entities in the country, but only 275,823 of them are considered active – approximately 24% of the total.

Thus, over 850 thousand companies are effectively inactive, indicating a large-scale formal business registration that does not reflect the real structure of the economy. Experts note that such indicators distort the perception of business activity in the country.

The largest number of companies is concentrated in trade and car repair – 222,152 registered entities, but only 74,271 are actually operating. This means that almost two-thirds of enterprises in the largest economic sector remain inactive.

A similar situation is observed in other industries: in agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and construction, the share of inactive companies ranges from 66% to 74%. Even in industry, out of 52,700 enterprises, only 16,553 are active.

The information and communication, education, and real estate sectors appear relatively more stable, with an above-average level of active companies. The category "activity type unknown" stands out, where out of 544,700 registered entities, only 58,234 are active, creating a significant statistical disproportion and affecting the overall economic picture of the country.
