The second round of the micro data linking exercise between EuroGroups Register and structural business statistics highlights the economic significance of multinational enterprise (MNE) groups operating within national economies.
In 2022, independent enterprises accounted for an average of 95.2% of all active enterprises across the 14 countries participating in the exercise (Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Finland, Sweden and Norway). The remaining 4.8% of enterprises belonged to an all-resident (domestic) enterprise group or a multinational enterprise group (domestically or foreign controlled). These ‘dependent’ enterprises employed on average 47.4% of all people employed in the respective countries.
