Group of statistical units in the structural business and financial statement statistics changes
Date of change:The group of statistical units in the structural business and financial statement statistics will be expanded starting from the statistical reference year 2021. Limitations concerning the operating time and size of enterprises have been removed from the definition of statistical units. Previously, only enterprises having operated for at least six months in the statistical reference year and whose turnover, number of personnel, investments or balance sheet exceeded the statistical limit were included in the statistics.
In future, the statistics will include all market-based enterprises that have had turnover, personnel, other operating income, investments, or balance sheet during the statistical reference year. The effect of the new statistical units on variables other than the number of enterprises is mainly quite marginal. The expansion of statistical units has been carried out as part of the implementation of the new EU Regulation on European business statistics (EBS). EU grant funding has been received for the renewal of statistics compilation in 2020 to 2022.
In connection with the change, the StatFin database tables have been remade. The data have been formed with the new statistical units for 2018 to 2020 as well. Database tables created with the old statistical units can be found in the StatFin database archive.
The effect of the changes can be estimated by comparing the data of new and old tables. The total number of enterprises will increase by around 50 per cent. The new statistical units increase the turnover of the statistics as a whole by under 0.5 per cent.
