In 2020, despite the aggravating circumstances imposed by the coronavirus pandemic, the economy managed to preserve the volume of business activities achieved in the previous year and generate a positive net result that was one-fifth higher than in 2019. According to the findings of the Serbian Business Registers Agency’s “Report on the TOP 100 Enterprises in 2020”, which is posted on its website along with the lists of the top one hundred enterprises by operating income, net profit, total assets, equity, net loss and total loss, this was contributed significantly by one hundred enterprises that generated the highest operating income, as well as by one hundred enterprises which recorded the largest net profit.
The top one hundred enterprises by operating income accounted for 27.9% of the operating income of the entire economy and 24.4% of its key financial performances, employing 16.5% of the total number of employed persons in the economy. This list is dominated by large systems (98), which generated 98.9% of the operating income of all the enterprises included in the list. The majority of these enterprises are solvent (72), of which 34 have very good solvency. The enterprises included in this list are characterized by a favourable financial structure, while illiquidity, which lasted for a short period, was recorded in only two of these enterprises. The largest number (86) of the enterprises included in this list was contained in the same list last year.
The top one hundred enterprises by the generated net profit achieved a bit less than one-third of the net profit of all enterprises and 21.9% of its key financial performances. Every tenth employee in the economy was employed by these enterprises. If observed by their size, this group of enterprises includes the biggest number of large enterprises (74), whose profit (RSD 174,771 million) increased by one-fourth in 2020. The list also comprises 19 medium-sized enterprises, whose profit increased more than two times compared to the previous year, while a more intensive growth in net profit was recorded by four small-sized and three micro enterprises, whose net profit increased 7.4 and 6.5 times, respectively. The list includes 72 solvent enterprises, of which 54 have excellent or very good solvency, while the solvency of 16 enterprises that had a status change was not assessed. Just one enterprise included in the list was found illiquid in 2020 for a period of six days. A bit less than two-thirds of the enterprises included in this list (63) were on the same list in the previous year.
Out of 103,327 enterprises, whose 2020 regular annual financial statements data were analyzed in terms of their business performance, financial capacity and losses, the SBRA’s lists of the “TOP 100 Enterprises in 2020” include 349 enterprises that made the greatest impact on the key financial performances of the economy last year.
