Enterprises statistics

 

 

 

 

This chapter presents the Structural Business Statistics Survey data. The survey is carried out annu­ally and covers enterprises of all eco­no­mic ac­tivities, except for agriculture and financial in­ter­me­dia­­tion. For the compilation of statis­tical informa­tion, data of annual en­ter­­pri­se ac­tivity re­ports (F‑01) submitted to Statistics Lithua­nia, annu­al financial state­ments (balance sheet and profit/loss statement) of enterprises, profit tax returns of individual en­ter­pri­ses and income declaration of self-employed as well as data on the insured with state social insurance have been used.

 

 

 

In 2018, Statistics Lithuania introduced a new statistical unit of the enterprise. The enterprise is constituted of one legal unit, a combination of legal units, or part of a legal unit (until 2017, the enterprise consisted of one legal unit or part of a legal unit). The enterprise is equated to combination of legal units in cases where the legal units are part of an enterprise group and their combined activities form an operating segment. From 2018, data are calculated by a new statistical unit of the enterprise.


In 2021 there were 302 thousand enterprises operating in the country, and they employed 1 million 169 thousand employees. Over the year, the number of enterprises increased by 20 thousand or 7 per cent, the number of persons employed – by 52 thousand or 4.7 per cent.
