In 2020, the net profitability of enterprises accounted for 6.5 per cent, i.e. on average EUR 6.5 per EUR 100 income. Excluding the activity of the head offices, where most of the income is earned from dividends, the most profitable activity was the manufacture of basic pharmaceutical products and pharmaceutical preparations, with a net profitability of 25.4 per cent.

The largest part (EUR 869 million) of net profit was generated in wholesale trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles activity. Compared to 2019, net profit increased by EUR 268 million or 45 per cent.

The sectors covering air transport, accommodation and food service activities, travel agencies, tour operators, reservation service and related activities, sports activities, arts, entertainment and recreation, non-residential social work activities and manufacturing of refined petroleum products, which were profitable in 2018–2019, became loss making activities in 2020, with the largest decrease in profit recorded in real estate activity. This was probably mainly influenced by COVID‑19.
