Activities of holding companies

NACE v2.0 Code: K64.20

About activities of holding companies

NACE code 64.20 covers the activities of holding companies, which play a crucial role in the broader economy. Holding companies are legal entities that own controlling stakes in one or more subsidiary companies, allowing them to exercise significant influence over the strategic and operational decisions of those subsidiaries. This industry is essential for facilitating investment, managing risk, and enabling the efficient allocation of capital across various economic sectors.

Production process

The primary activities of holding companies involve the acquisition, ownership, and management of other companies. This typically includes activities such as overseeing the financial and operational performance of subsidiaries, providing strategic guidance, and making decisions regarding the allocation of resources and investments. Holding companies may also engage in activities like providing administrative and financial services to their subsidiaries, as well as coordinating the activities of the group as a whole.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the activities of holding companies are financial resources, such as capital and access to credit, as well as skilled personnel with expertise in areas like corporate finance, strategic management, and legal compliance. Holding companies also rely on robust information and communication systems to monitor the performance of their subsidiaries and make informed decisions.

Production outputs

The primary output of the holding company industry is the management and control of subsidiary companies. This allows for the efficient allocation of capital, the diversification of risk, and the coordination of strategic initiatives across a group of related businesses. The outputs of holding companies can have significant impacts on 64.11 Monetary intermediation, 64.19 Other monetary intermediation, and 70.10 Activities of head offices, as well as various other NACE codes that represent the industries in which the subsidiaries operate.
