Coverage
The Central Companies Directory (CCD) joins together in just one information system, all Spanish companies and their local units located in the country. Its basic objective is to facilitate carrying out economic surveys by sample.
This is updated once a year and generates a new information system to 1 January for each period.
A statistical use of the results is published for companies and local units, broken down by Autonomous Communities according to legal condition, main economic activity and assigned employee stratum. The CCD generates information associated with: new companies, existing companies and closed companies, classified according to economic sector, legal condition and employee stratum.
The CCD is put together and maintained based on the primary data proceeding from various entry sources of an administrative and statistical origin. This information is then submitted to a sophisticated itinerary of filtering, harmonising and integrating treatment in order to obtain total national coverage.
