Latvenergo has topped the most-valued corporate chart now for six years running, assessed this year at a worth of €1.3m.
Swedbank was deemed the most-valuable company in the Baltic region at €3.2m, including its separate banking operations in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. Swedbank also earned second-place behind Latvenergo in Latvia’s separate list.
Speaking to the assembled honorees representing their companies, President Andris Berzins recalled personally learning from the “impressively ambitious” Swedbank corporate leadership as a rival banker during the years of its growth as a front-runner in Baltic banking markets.
Also leading in the TOP101 most-valued firms this year were joint-stock companies Latvijas valsts meži (3rd place), Ventspils nafta (4th) and railroad authority Latvijas dzelzceļš. For the first time, wood-processing company KRONOSPAN Riga entered the top-ten of the list.
