Footnotes: The decrease in the business formation and cessation counts in December 2024 was due to a temporary suspension of (a) all eServices on Bizfile portal including those relating to business registration and cessation to facilitate IT system migration activities carried out in first week of December; and (b) ACRA's periodic exercise to remove from the public register business entities that failed to renew their registrations and companies that were dormant.
