METHODOLOGICAL NOTE
The final data are published once a year together with the publication of data for the 4th quarter of the current year.

In 2022 and 2023, energy crisis had an impact on business operations. Subsidies related to business effects are also taken into account in the calculation of operational revenues and value added. In accordance with accounting standards, enterprises also include state aid due to high energy costs among these subsidies, and this should be taken into account when comparing data on a year-on-year basis.
