Increasing number of enterprises
A total of 47 436 new enterprises were established in 2005, an increase of ten per cent compared with 2004. Most of the growth is in private limited companies. 13 991 new private limited companies were established in 2005, an increase of 30 per cent compared with the previous year.
In addition almost 17 900 other private limited companies were registered in 2005 as a consequence of changes in tax the legislation. These enterprises are excluded from the statistics.
Statistics from the Central Register of Establishments and Enterprises confirm this development. The figures include all enterprises except public administration, agriculture, forestry and fishing. The data from 1 January 2005 have been updated since the previous publishing, and are now available. The number of wound up enterprises for 2004 has also been updated. Due to some lag in registration, the number of winding ups for 2005 has been estimated. Thus the figure as of 1 January 2006 is also an estimate and will be updated in the next publishing. Please refer to About the Statistics for more details.
