2014- n° 11Slight increase in business start-ups in December 2013 Enterprise births - December 2013
In December 2013, the number of business start-ups rose slightly compared to November: +0.3% for business setting up seasonally and working-day adjusted data (sa-wda) including self-managed enterprises. The increase in business start-ups self-managed enterprises (+3.7% sa-wda) compensated the decrease in business start-ups excluding self-managed enterprises (-3.0% sa-wda).
Warning : From September 2013 data onwards, the seasonal and working-day adjustment model has been modified, for monthly business start-up data. Previously, only the time series for business set-ups excluding self-managed enterprises were seasonally adjusted. The self-managed enterprises time series were too short to be properly deseasonalized. From now on, the self-managed enterprises time series are seasonally adjusted for each main sector. However, for the self-managed enterprises time series in the sectors of “Financial and insurance activities”, “Real estate” and “Trade, transport, accommodation and catering” , the raw data are similar to seasonally adjusted data, due to a low number of registrations and difficulty identifying a seasonal trend.
