Ratios
The ratios defined are used in these statistics from an aggregate or macroeconomic perspective since they are constructed, for each group of companies, not as an arithmetic mean of the individual ratios but from the aggregate accounting figures of the group under study.
In addition to their interest in the economic and financial analysis of the various categories of companies defined in statistics, ratios are instruments that facilitate comparisons; They are also intended to be useful for the individual company, which will be able to compare its specific accounting structure with that of the group to which it belongs.
The ratios are structured in two sets; The first includes those that provide information on the company's profitability, and are specifically used for economic analysis. The second includes those that are oriented toward financial analysis.
