Preliminary figures

The preliminary figures for number of enterprises, turnover and employment are published while data are still being revised and may therefore deviate somewhat from final results published at a later date. While preliminary figures are published on the enterprise level only, final results are published on both the enterprise level and the local kind-of-activity unit level.
