Foreign Owned Enterprises

The statistics have been republished for the period 2019-2021 with a new activity limit that includes economically active companies and with more economic units that have been implemented in the General Enterprise Statistics. Several industries are affected by this. There is thus no direct comparability with the previous time series covering the period 2000-2021. The statistics supplement the General Enterprise Statistics with information on foreign-owned enterprises.

Every year figures are submitted to the statistical office of EU, Eurostat. This includes special industry aggregates, not published nationally.

Comparability - geographical

Every year figures are submitted to the statistical office of EU, Eurostat. This includes special industry aggregates, not published nationally. Data for all EU countries can be found in the Eurostat database. The statistics are produced following the principles of an EU regulation, so the results are comparable.

Comparability over time

The statistics have been republished for the period 2019-2022. It is calculated with the new activity limit, which includes economically active enterprises and with several large enterprises as economic units, which have been implemented in the General Business Statistics. Several industries will be affected by these changes when looking at both quantitative variables and economic variables. Therefore, it is not directly comparable with the previous time series covering the period 2000-2021.
