About the statistical basisThe statistics are based on a survey of the 600 largest non-financial companies. The size of the company is measured by assets and liabilities in foreign countries, foreign shares and foreign ownership.
The data are based on accounting legislation, and the values do not necessarily give a good picture of the real or market value of the assets. |
