The National Institute of Statistics (INS) is pleased to present the fourth edition of the Economic and Financial Data Bank (EBD) in 2016.
This publication is part of the continuation of the process of setting up and operationalizing the Central Company Balance Sheets, which is a project that the INS started in 2012.
This edition, like the previous ones, presents the results of the processing of companies’ Statistical and Tax Declarations (DSF) for the 2016 financial year. In particular, it includes an aggregation of the balance sheet and income statements by branch of activity and by legal form of the companies. As in the third edition, the evolution of the permanent workforce employed by companies was produced by branch of activity as well as by legal form. The major innovation is the introduction of the table which traces the movements of the various elements of fixed assets, highlighting the investment made by companies. The introduction of these new data is intended to meet user demand for business investment.
