Alba County has seen the highest percentage drop in newly registered companies and authorized individuals in Romania, with a decrease of 33.55% in 2026. This decline is significantly greater than the national average of 8.94%. The data indicates a slowdown in the establishment of new economic activities, although it does not imply that a third of existing businesses have ceased operations. Other counties also experienced declines, but none matched Alba's rate. Nationally, only three counties reported increases in registrations, while the overall trend shows a notable reduction in new business formations, particularly in the commerce sector.
