Economic activity code

Classification of Economic Activities (EVRK) is a structured set of social and economic activities that exist in the country’s economy, the unit of classification of which is the kind of activity. The use of this Classification allows for the categorisation of all economic entities existing in the country and for the collection of data on population, production, employment, agriculture, income and other data by kind of activity. This Classification is used to compare national and cross-border statistics.

The EVRK is based on the classification prepared by the Statistical Office of the European Union (EUROSTAT) “Nomenclature statistique des activités économiques dans la Communauté européenne” (Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community) – NACE Rev. 2. This allows statistical information to be compared by economic activity at European level. Up to the 4-digit level, the EVRK corresponds to the NACE classification, i.e. the codes, titles and explanatory notes are identical.  The only difference is that the EVRK has the 5th level (6-digit codes) – subclasses.

The Classification of Economic Activities (EVRK Rev. 2) is approved by Order No. DĮ-226 of 31 October 2007 of the Director General of Statistics Lithuania under the Government of the Republic of Lithuania “On Approval of the Classification of Economic Activities”.
