About this data
Seasonally and calendar-adjusted index of business registrations in Germany by NACE Rev. 2 activity, 2021=100. A registration is an administrative event and is not the same as an enterprise birth. The existing insolvency table contains bankruptcy counts, so no bankruptcy total is repeated here.
