BC, Riga, 03.03.2017.Print version
Latvia's 20 most active officials take 695 positions in 648 companies, Indra Urtane, the spokeswoman of Lursoft business database operator, reported.

Citing a study conducted by Lursoft, the leader of the list is Ralfs Jansons who has 72 positions, followed by Italian citizen Paolo Bettiol with 62 positions. Most of Jansons' positions are in companies engaged in real estate with the oldest one registered in 1996, while Bettiol has positions in companies, mostly founded in the past two years and providing services unclassified elsewhere.


Analyzing financial results of the companies headed by the most active officials, the leaders are construction companies, including Skonto Buve with EUR 122.5 mln in 2015 turnover, Arcers with EUR 33.41 mln, and Aizputes Celinieks with EUR 15.3 mln in turnover.


"Even though the large number of positions in different companies might suggest the high productivity of these people, the financial results often show a different picture. Among the TOP 20 most active officials, just six people can boast of positive aggregate results of their companies. Ravis is being the most successful, his 53 companies in 2015 have posted EUR 20.65 mln in aggregate profit," said Lursoft representative.


According to Lursoft, the aggregate turnover of the companies headed by the TOP 20 most active officials was EUR 275.6 mln, and profit reached EUR 22.31 mln. 26 of those companies posted over EUR 1 mln in annual turnover, and 13 companies posted over EUR 1 mln in profit.


Most of these companies are small companies, and just four companies had more than 100 employees. In total, all the listed companies together employed 1,582 people.


Among local residents in the list of the most active officials, there were also several foreigners - three from Italy, two from the UK, and one from Russia.
