Preliminary figures
Preliminary figures for structural statistics are published only on enterprise level. Figures for enterprises will generally show other values than the figures for local kind-of-activity units. The reason is that an enterprise that is registered with its main activity in one industry may have local kind-of-activity units with activity in other industries.

The statistics is now published as Business statistics.
