Proposal for the Catalan Classification of Economic Activities 2025 (CCAE-2025, revision of the CCAE-2009)
Idescat has drawn up a proposal for a complete revision of the current Catalan Classification of Economic Activities 2009 (CCAE-2009) to adapt it to the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community Rev.2.1 (NACE Rev.2.1) and the new Spanish National Classification of Economic Activities 2025 (CNAE-2025) which is currently being processed. This new classification will be called the Catalan Classification of Economic Activities 2025 (CCAE-2025) and is expected to be officially endorsed in 2025.
As part of its remit, Idescat will consult the bodies and institutions making up the Statistical System of Catalonia so that they can submit any comments they consider relevant to the proposal, especially any related to their competencies. It is expected that this consultation, the latest technical work and the legal provisions concerning the new classification will be completed sufficiently far in advance to ensure that official statistical activities in Catalonia will use the CCAE-2025 in the course of 2025, thereby ensuring utmost comparability of data with their Spanish and European counterparts.
The main changes in the new revised structure of the classification are as follows:
- Creating separate classes or groups for the activities of intermediation services within the same divisions where the activity they intermediate is located.
- Dividing section J into two new sections, J and K, so that the rest of the sections from this one onwards are shifted by one letter: K becomes L, etc. The CCAE-2025 now has 22 sections as opposed to 21 in the CNAE-2009.
- Removing division 45 relating to the sale and repair of motor vehicles and the inclusion of these activities in divisions 46, 47 or 95, depending on whether they are wholesale, retail or repair and maintenance, respectively.
- Restructuring divisions 38, 62, 63, 90, 91 and 96 with relocation and generation of new classes.
