About this ranking
Value added of enterprises in mining and quarrying (NACE Rev.
More on how it is measured
- 2 section B): income from operating activities after deducting purchases of goods and services, in millions of euros at current prices.
- Eurostat structural business statistics; at basic prices from 2021 and at factor cost for 2005 to 2020.
Eurostat structural business statistics. From 2021 the series come from sbs_ovw_act under Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 on European business statistics; 2005 to 2020 come from the earlier table sbs_na_sca_r2. Values for 2021 are flagged as a break: value added moved from factor cost to basic prices and some activities changed coverage, so the change from 2020 to 2021 is not all real. Amounts are published in euros for every country, including those outside the euro area. Not the same as active_companies (INE business register, Spain) or employer_firms (US Census Bureau).
Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the EU countries are compared on one definition. 1 EU countries with data in other periods have no value for 2024 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
