July 2015 mars the beginning of the new municipalities emerging from the latest territorial and administrative reform. Business companies include all those registered as natural persons or legal entities. Women-owned companies include all business companies, where women own all or some of the shares. The analysis includes also companies owned by one woman only, trying to assess women&#8217;s business management skills. Contracts subject to this investigation include all contracts signed by municipalities, their subordinate institutions, or business companies, where they hold shares or quotas.<\/p>\n<p>The main purpose of this investigation is to identify the number of companies owned or managed by women in the process of distribution of the public money. Public procurement consists of contracting companies for the provision of public works, supplies, or services.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Companies owned or co-owned, or managed by women, which have signed contracts with municipalities, are 144 in total.
