The production of the quarterly published section on registered new enterprises already ended on 13 February 2025.

The use of administrative data on enterprise openings and closures in the production of data will be discontinued and an estimation method will be adopted, by means of which the enterprise population of the statistics corresponds to the Regulation on European business statistics. In the statistics on business demography, data are published separately by industry and region.
