Concepts
  • FINANCIAL AUTONOMY:  The economic and financial indicator that reflects the level of financing of enterprises, i.e. the capacity to take out medium and long-term loans supported by equity capital. The capacity is exhausted when the ratio equals the unit, i.e. when medium to long-term liabilities equal the set of equity, reserves and retained earnings and net profit (deducting the interim dividends).
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  Period to which the information refers and which may be a specific day or a time interval (month, fiscal year, calendar year, among others).
  • ENTERPRISE:  Legal entity (natural or legal person) that is an organisational unit producing goods or services, which benefits from a certain degree of autonomy in decision-making, especially for the allocation of its current resources. An enterprise carries out one or more activities at one or more locations.
  • ECONOMIC ACTIVITY:  Combination of resources such as labour, raw materials, equipment, etc., are joined, leading to the creation of specific goods or services. Regardless of the factors of production integrating the good or service produced, all activities generically imply an input of products (goods or services), a production process and an output of products (goods or services).
  • LEGAL FORM:  A classification given by law, which can take a number of forms: civil associations (public or private, profit- or non-profit-making) and companies.
