Description topics
- Bankruptcies by economic activity
- Pronounced bankruptcies concerning single-owner and trading companies
by industry class (SBI'93). It concerns mostly enterprises or parts of
enterprises.
The SBI'93 is the Dutch hierarchical classification of economic
activities used from 1993 on by the Central Bureau for Statistics to
classify business units according to their main activity.
The SBI'93 is divided in six levels, of which the highest levels
(sections and subsections) are indicated by letters and the lower
levels (divisions, groups, classes and subclasses) are indicated by
figures.
Up to the level of classes (four figures) the SBI-code is equal to the
NACE Rev. 1.1 (Nomenclature Général des Activités Economiques dans la
Communauté Européenne) used by all the members of the EC. The
subclass, designated by five figures, is a special Dutch
specification. The division levels (two figures) of the SBI'93 and the
NACE Rev. 1.1 are similar to the ISIC Rev. 3.1 (International Standard
Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities), a
classification of economic activities, recommended by the UN and
decreed by resolution of the Statistical Commission of the UN in march
2002.
