share of the private joint venture and the joint venture firms had increasing
activity (75%, respectively 60%). Local private firms that had a growing activity
(41.2%) and they are the most of it. The most with a stagnated or decreasing
activity are the local private firms (25.2%, respectively 33.6%).
The
largest share of those with decreasing activity was the firms with turnover
bellow 15,000$. All those with turnover up to 120,000$ had increasing activity.
As
the turnover grows, the percentage of the firms owned by the graduated entrepreneurs
increases, while the weight of the firms owned by entrepreneurs with secondary
school studies decreases. So the correlation between the turnover figures and
the study level of the entrepreneurs is confirmed by data from study.
