    Purchases and sales by enterprises

    Users of the statistics are ministries, researchers, students and organizations. Used for e.g. analysis of business trends and market research. In Statistics Denmark, the statistic provides supporting information to e.g. the National Accounts and statistics on foreign trade. Data contribute to the Danish compliance with requirements in the European business statistics regulation regarding turnover on industries on service and trade. In order to comply with requirements, monthly turnover must be distributed to Kind of Activity Units (KAU). A model is used to split legal units into KAU.

    User Needs

    The Committee for Industrial Statistics (Danish) meet twice a year and discuss among other topics this statistic.

    Data completeness rate

    National: The rate of Data completeness is calculated for table “FIKS44: Purchases and sales (detailed) by industry (DB07) and amount” that can be found in StatBank Denmark. The rate of Data completeness: R1(user) = (the numerator is the subset of available/provided data cells) / (the denominator is the set of relevant data cells) R1(user) = 536 / 741 = 0,72.

    The above is calculated for 2023Q4 on the May 1st, 2024. The model for the rate of data completeness is described at page 3 in ESS guidelines for the implementation of the ESS Quality and performance indicators (QPI).

    Eurostat: To meet part of the regulatory requirement in the European business statistics regulation (EBS- regulation) data form this statistic is used. With these statics we have a short-term estimate for turnover. To meet the regulation, we deliver data on the following industry levels.

    Service:
    Aggregated level: (H+I+J+L+M (excl. M701, M72 and M75)+ N) NACE Sections: H, I, J, L, M (excl. M701, M72 og M75) and N Divisions of NACE Sections: H, I, J, L, M (excl. M701, M72 og M75) and N

    Trade: Section G Divisions G45 and G46 Groups G451, G452, G453, G454, G461, G462, G463, G464, G465, G466, G467, G469

    The rate of Data completeness: R1(producers) = (subset provided) / (the set of data cells required).

    For Denmark R1(producers)=1, this means that the required datasets are provided.

    The model for the rate of data completeness is described at page 3 in ESS guidelines for the implementation of the ESS Quality and performance indicators (QPI).
