as non-state. They accounted for 81 per cent of GDP in 2016 (see chart 3), 82 per cent of 
employment (see chart 4), and 86 per cent of registered businesses, according to official data. 
This compares with 73 per cent of GDP, 76 per cent of employment, and 84 per cent of 
registered businesses in 2000. They were responsible for 83 per cent of fixed investment in 
2016, up from 36 per cent in 2000. In industry, the share of the non-government sector in 
output increased to 94 per cent in 2016 from 36 per cent in 2000. Businesses that were 100
