Open Data Albania is exploring changes in the basic capital of 120 joint stock companies under the ownership of a public institution (government) during 2014-2015. Research data were obtained from historical extracts contained in the database of the National Registration Center NRC.
Changes in capital are an output of two procedures: Increase, or Decrease of the Company?s capital. The capital increase is due to: arrangement of the annual profits; additional contributions from shareholders; transfer of objects (assets) under the ownership, or management of the company; growth of reassessment of objects (assets), or transfer of assets; budget funds reallocation to the benefit of the company, or financial sponsorships etc.
Reduction of capital occurs in cases when the adjustment of annual or carried forward losses is performed; revaluations of objects (assets) with losses; transfer of ownership for objects and assets; amortization and announcement of the assets as out of use.
On December 31 of 2015, 11 out of 120 joint stock companies under consideration had increased their own capital.
