An increase in enterprise births in January 2012

Enterprise births – Janvier 2012

Warning: Only enterprise births data excluding self-managed enterprises (SME) are seasonally adjusted. In February 2012, the seasonal adjustment model has been reviewed.

In January 2012, the number of enterprise births increased compared to December 2011 (+14.4%).

+2.3% year-on-year (quarterly basis)

The amount of entries, added up November 2011, December 2011 and January 2012, increased by 2.3% compared to the same quarter one year before.

The sectors that most contributed to that increase were education, human health and social work activities and manufacturing.

-9.5% year-on-year (twelve months basis)

During the last twelve months, the number of births decreased by 9.5% year-on-year.

28,604 self-managed enterprises
