THE STRUCTURE AND TERRITORIAL ORGANIZATION OF THE ECONOMY OF THE REPUBLIC OF ABKHAZIA

Abstract

Annotation. The socio-economic situation of the Republic of Abkhazia after the collapse of the Soviet Union is described in the article. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the complete lack of financial and material conditions, which were systematically separated from the center, made a drastic change in the country's economic development. In addition, in 1992, the ethnic conflict in the Abkhazia region of Georgia turned into an armed war that lasted for 13 months, but the issue of this war has not yet been resolved.

During this conflict, the situation of more than 500 enterprises in the country decreased sharply. Basic funds, infrastructure facilities are technologically destroyed, destroyed or left behind. Although the industrial facilities were restored in a short period of time, since 2015, the income of the industrial facilities has practically not increased. In 2018, the volume of industrial output was 4.7 billion rubles ($0.07 billion). Today, there are about 100 small industrial enterprises in Abkhazia, including 85 enterprises of the non-state sector. About 70 percent of the volume of industrial production is located in the city of Sukhum.
