The Ministry of Economics, on Sunday, ordered the dissolution of 1,597 companies over a failure to pay the annual fees.

The Registrar of Companies finalised the decision to dissolve the aforementioned companies under regulations which state that non-payment of annual fees constitute a cause for dissolution. The announcement disclosed that the companies in question were registered between 2002 and 2006.

A complete list of the companies to be dissolved are now publicly viewable on the economic ministry's website.
