The largest number of sectors in 2023 operated with a greater reliance on financial resources, predominantly utilized by the processing industry sector, which owns more than a fifth of the total business assets of the economy and approximately the same amount of capital. The most pronounced growth of financial capacities was recorded in the information and communication sector, whose business assets increased by 20.2%, and capital by 18.2% compared to the previous year.
A large number of sectors primarily used borrowed sources of financing, but there are also those that reduced the total debt and shifted to their own resources. The processing industry sector had the largest share in the total liabilities of the economy, whereas the mining sector relied more on its own resources, which remains among the least indebted sectors.
Large systems engaged about half of the financial capacities of the economy, and in addition, they accounted for the majority of total liabilities, but on the other hand, most of the own capital as well. Bearing in mind that the structure of their financing sources has not changed, they managed to keep the degree of total indebtedness almost at the level of the previous year, and modest positive progress was made by medium-sized and small companies.
