Enterprise demographic statistics became more prompt, timely and more detailed
The Hungarian Central Statistical Office (HCSO) is publishing, starting June 2025, the number of active enterprises on a monthly basis, significantly enhancing and speeding up the economic information available to the public. The new development – based on data from contribution declaration and the online invoicing system – offers, beside the previous yearly data the monthly breakdown of the active enterprises statistics, as such a more exact and faster decision-making aid is in the reach of the economic actors, researchers and the general public owing to a timely data supply.
In response to user demand the HCSO extended its data publication on enterprise demographics, by publishing, starting June 2025 the number of active enterprises on a monthly basis. The new methodology – based on administrative data from contribution declaration and the online invoicing system – makes data (previously published only on a yearly basis) available within three months starting from the base month. One could better trace, based on these reliable, detailed statistics, offered in a shorter period of time, the changes in economic trends.
Monthly data on active enterprises are important sources of information for many users. Political decision makers may appraise faster labour market and tax revenue changes, market researchers and economic analysts may get a more precise, up-to-date picture on entrepreneurs’ activity trends while enterprises could learn in a timely manner about competition related significant changes.
Earlier on one had to wait for 11 months for data on enterprise demographics activity, from now on monthly statistics are available within 3 months from the base month on legal unit level. Data on t+3 and t+4 are preliminary, from the 5th month are considered final. It must be emphasized that that the monthly number of active enterprises on legal unit level is not comparable with the yearly number of active enterprises on enterprise level.
This development is an important step of the HCSO toward offering timely, reliable statistics. As a result four new STADAT tables have been prepared, in a staff number, main statistical activity (TEÁOR ’08 and TEÁOR’25) and business entity form breakdown, beside the Monthly number of active enterprises on legal unit level graph in the HCSO Monitor is updated monthly.
