Statistics are renewed
The group of statistical units in the business structures statistics is extended starting from the statistical reference year 2021. This also has some effect on the statistics on foreign affiliates in Finland. Limitations concerning the operating time and size of enterprises have been removed from the definition of statistical units. As a result of the renewal, the number of enterprises used in the compilation of the statistics on foreign enterprises in Finland extends only a little compared to the number of all enterprises located in Finland. The number of foreign enterprises in Finland grows to 4,751, or by 5.7 per cent compared to the previous group of statistical units. The new statistical units do not have much effect on other variables. Turnover grows by 0.07 per cent and the number of personnel by 0.04 per cent.
