Outward foreign affiliates statistics (Outward FATS) describe the number, structure and activity of subsidiaries abroad that are controlled by institutional units resident in the reporting country. Control means that these subsidiaries are majority-owned (a shareholding of more than 50 %) by domestic enterprises (directly, or via intermediate enterprises). Up to reporting year 2020, four characteristics were collected for the units in question: country of residence, activity (NACE), employment and turnover. Starting with reporting year 2021, personnel costs and gross investments are available in addition.

The data, which is compiled annually, is presented by sectors (NACE) and country of residence.

The legal basis is the national FATS Regulation, which was based on the European FATS Regulation (EC) No 716/2007 up to and including the reporting year 2020; from the reporting year 2021 onwards, it is based on Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 (European Business Statistics Regulation).
