Figures are based on the "Census of Commerce" and "Economic Census for Business Activity" by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
According to the source, due to industrial classification change in 1991 and 2014, businesses subject to the survey change in 1999 and investigating method change in 2014, the changes are the cause of discontinuities in the data.
