This database has published data about Business Companies registered from 1 January to 31 December 2019. These data and the relevant documents are easily accessed through passports disclosing their identity, scope of activity, managerial structure, owners over the years, capital values, performance and legal issues characterizing their business. Such passports link also the data on tenders and payments made by the State Treasury to the respective companies. This article provides aggregate data about business companies by the origin of their capital, i.e. by country of origin of the capital owners. This information helps understand economic and trade interests such as ease of doing business in Albania. The increase of foreign investors doing business in the country shows a favorable business climate, as well as opportunities for transferring different economic sectors to our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2019, there were 3291 (three thousand and twenty hundred and ninety-one) business companies registered in the country as shareholders companies (SHA) and companies with limited liabilities (SHPK). Thus, 897 of them or 27% of the total number are established with fully foreign capital. The foreign capital used in establishing these companies amounts to 912 639 988 (nine hundred and twelve million and six hundred and thirty-nine thousand and nine hundred and eighty-eight) leke or 10.17% of the total capital of the companies founded in 2019. In 2019, the total capital of foreign or domestic-owned companies was 8 970 697 393 (eight billion and nine hundred and seventy million and six hundred and ninety-seven thousand and three hundred and ninety-three) leke. In addition to the fully foreign capital companies, there are also 228 companies with mixed (Albanian and foreign capital) founder. While 85.5% of the capital of the companies founded in our country is domestic capital (Albanian owners).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Companies registered in NBC in 2019 according to capital origin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"600\" height=\"371\" seamless=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vT7nHLi8w08ZcbiC3l8EZFNA0CSHqFqs-eqJPWAHyC6d3DnL2RY0wjkerK1aGcSUx144zT4aYycAis_\/pubchart?oid=855741863&amp;format=interactive\"><\/iframe>\n<br>\n<p style=\"font-size:11px\">\nData: National Business Centre<br>\nProcessing and Analysis by:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opencorporates.al\/sq\/company2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open Corporates Albania<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"600\" height=\"371\" seamless=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vT7nHLi8w08ZcbiC3l8EZFNA0CSHqFqs-eqJPWAHyC6d3DnL2RY0wjkerK1aGcSUx144zT4aYycAis_\/pubchart?oid=444500156&amp;format=interactive\"><\/iframe>\n<br>\n<p style=\"font-size:11px\">\nData: National Business Centre<br>\nProcessing and Analysis by:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opencorporates.al\/sq\/company2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Open Corporates Albania<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we look at the countries of origin of the companies founded in 2019, Italy is on the top with 461 companies or 14% of the total number of companies established this year.
