Warning: Only enterprise births data excluding self-managed enterprises (SME) are seasonally adjusted. In February 2012, the seasonal adjustment model has been reviewed. In order to get the total of enterprise births, the raw number of SME is added. The SME time series is too short to be properly deseasonalized.
In July 2012, the number of enterprise births decreased compared to June: -1% for enterprise births excluding self-managed enterprises (seasonally and working-day adjusted data); -7.8% when the number of self-managed enterprises (raw data) is added.
The amount of entries added up May, June and July 2012 slightly increased compared to the same months one year before (+1.2%).
The sectors that most contributed to that increase were “education; human health and social work activities” and construction.
During the last twelve months, the number of births decreased by 2% year-on-year.
For the first seven months of 2012, one out of every two births enterprises were self-managed enterprises (187,170).
