Preliminary official fiscal data, released by the Agency for Media and Information on Friday, showed that revenue from these contributions reached 100.4% of the target set for the first eight months of the year.

The increase in contribution revenue coincided with an expansion in business activity. Business turnover rose by 277 billion leks in January-August compared with the same period in 2025.

The fiscal data indicate that the figures reflect improved labour-market performance, higher reporting of actual wages and more effective tax administration.

The performance in the first eight months of the year points to a broader contribution revenue base as business activity continues to expand, the data showed.
