Regional accounts are an extension of national accounts from which data are available by sub-regional unit, region, major region, as well as by other regional divisions based on municipalities if required. The statistics also contain comparison data on regional structures, and on their development and levels. The comparisons are usually made with data on the whole country, but occasionally also on the EU countries.
Regional accounts of production and employment describe Finland’s regional economics with the concepts and definitions of national accounts by location of production unit. The accounts are compiled in accordance with the guidelines of the European System of Accounts (ESA 1995). In the regional accounts, production is broken down into output, intermediate consumption, value added and compensations of employees. Employment is broken down into self-employed persons and wage and salary earners. Apart from these, the calculation also extends to gross fixed capital formation, i.e. investments by region.
Household sector accounts use the same concepts and definitions and the account on the household sector in national accounts. Regional household accounts deviate from national accounts in that they include profits from sale of property and income from incentive options. If required, the data are also available exclusive of profits from sale of property and income from incentive options precisely in accordance with national accounts.
Areas: NUTS 1 (Mainland Finland and Åland Islands), NUTS 2 (major regions), NUTS 3 (regions) and NUTS 4 (sub-regional units). Industries and sectors are classified by the classifications used in national accounts. As appropriate, the indicators are compiled by the classifications used in regional and national accounts. Areas are classified by the regional division into sub-regional units, regions and major regions valid in the latest statistical reference year of regional accounts.
Data for the whole country are obtained from national accounts. Several basic statistics and registers are used in calculating regional data. These include: Data on establishments in the Business Register, Business structures statistics, Statistics on finances and activities of municipalities and joint municipal boards, Data on financial statements of the state, Statistics on agricultural enterprises and income, Data on financial statements of credit institutions, Data on personal taxation, Data on dwelling stock, Household Budget Survey and Vehicle register.
