National Classification of Activities - NKD Rev.2
The National Classification of Activities - NKD Rev.2 is a classification of economic activities in the Republic of Macedonia used for collecting, processing and publishing of statistical data, as well as for analysis and giving directions of the social and economic development and its structural changes.
Also, the Classification is used for determining the business subjects (legal and natural persons) according to the activity they are performing, for keeping business registers, as well as for other administrative objectives.
The National Classification of Activities - NKD Rev.2 is brought as a national standard based on the decision of the Government of the Republic of Macedonia (Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia, No. 147/08) and the Law on One Stop Shop System and Trade Register and Register on Other Legal Persons (Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia, No.84/05).
The primary objective of the Classification of Activities is to provide a basis for comparing statistical data of the Republic of Macedonia on European and world level. The National Classification of Activities - NKD Rev.2, in its content and structure is completely harmonized with the European Classification of Activities NACE Rev.2, (Regulation (EC) No.1893/2006 of European Parliament and Council of 20 December 2006 establishing the statistical classification of economic activities NACE Revision 2 and amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 3037/90 as well as certain EC Regulations on specific statistical domains OJ L/363).
The new concept of the National Classification of Activities - NKD Rev.2 consists of changes in the structure, in the criteria for construction of the Classification and revision of the explanations, but the general characteristics of the Classification remain unchanged. The National Classification of Activities - NKD Rev.2 consists of four hierarchical levels: section, division, group, class. The Classification of Activities contains 21 sections, 88 divisions, 272 groups and 615 classes.
In 2013, by Decision of the Government of the Republic of Macedonia, amendments were made to the National Classification of Activities - NKD Rev.2. According to this Decision, the activities in the National Classification of Activities - NKD Rev.2 are grouped at the level of sections, divisions, groups, classes and subclasses. The Classification of Activities has 21 sectors, 88 divisions, 272 groups, 615 classes and 4 subclasses.
