Methodology and source
Annual three-year survival rate derived from the CSO Business Demography enterprise survival table (BRA36), resolved from the CSO PxStat API by table and statistic label. The CSO publishes counts, not a rate: the figure here divides the official count of enterprise births surviving three years to the reference year by the official count of enterprise births three years earlier, both from the same table and the same business-economy totals. No other adjustment is applied. It is a standard Eurostat business-demography indicator.
