2013- n° 11Decrease in business setting up in December 2012 Enterprise births - December 2012
In December 2012, the number of business start-ups decreased compared to November: -15.4% for business setting up (seasonally and working-day adjusted data) including self-managed enterprises; it was slightly compensated by the increase of start-ups excluding self-managed enterprises (+1.5%)
Warning : Only business start-ups 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.
