Data content

Regional accounts of production and employment describe Finland’s regional economies with the concepts and definitions of national accounts by location of production unit. The accounts are compiled in accordance with the guidelines of the European System of Accounts (ESA 1995). In the regional accounts, production is broken down into output, intermediate consumption, value added and compensations of employees. Apart from these, the calculation also extends to gross fixed capital formation, i.e. investments by region.

Classifications used

Regions: NUTS 1 (Mainland Finland and Åland), NUTS 2 (Major Regions), NUTS 3 (Regions) and NUTS 4 (Sub-regional units). The classifications of industries and sectors correspond with those used in national accounts.
