Selected Indicators - Methodological notes

The production of the construction branch covers construction works conducted on the territory of the Slovak Republic and abroad by supplier construction enterprises with the major activity in the field of building and construction registered in the Slovak Republic (including tradesmen) and by construction establishment of non-construction enterprises. Predominating building and construction activity of the enterprise is determined by its registered appurtenance to divisions 41, 42, 43 of the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities SK NACE Rev.2 (if it is not reported otherwise).
