These data are collected via an annual survey since 1993 and refer to majority foreign-owned firms, i.e. where more than 50% of the capital is held by non-residents. Up to 1998, all enterprises were surveyed. From 1999, all enterprises employing more than 9 persons are covered. Public administration and defence (ISIC 75) as well as banks and insurance companies are not covered. The response rate of the survey is about 70%. No estimates are made for non-responders. The results are published in the report Economic activities of companies with foreign capital share.
