Financial statistics of enterprises
Which economic activities have the largest turnover? Who invests the most? The financial statistics of enterprises help to assess how enterprises and the economy are doing in Estonia.
Progressive enterprises increase productivity and can break into international markets. They can offer more jobs and pay more competitive salaries. This has a positive impact primarily on the working-age population in the regions where the successful enterprises operate as well on the Estonian economy as a whole.
Statistics Estonia publishes annual and quarterly financial statistics for Estonian enterprises broken down by economic activity, number of employees and country of the controlling enterprise. Data on sole proprietors are published separately.
The main financial statistics of enterprises are:
- turnover
- costs
- profit
- assets
- liabilities
- equity
- investments
- value added
- productivity indicators
We also collect and publish data for foreign affiliates of Estonian enterprises outside the European Union (outward foreign affiliates) and for foreign affiliates registered in Estonia.
The new version of the Estonian Classification of Economic Activities – EMTAK 2025 – is in force since 1 January 2025. EMTAK 2025 reflects today’s economic environment and activities. Data based on the updated classification are published by Statistics Estonia starting from 2026. Read more on our website.
