What does CAEN 68 mean?
CAEN division 68 (rev. 2) is "Real estate activities", with 4 activity classes, in section L — Real estate activities. Eligibility is checked against the exact class (4 digits) in the programme's list.
How many active companies are there in real estate activities?
38,217 active companies have their main CAEN code in division 68; 18,177 reported employees in their latest financial statements and 2,817 were established in the last two years. Most are in Bucharest (12,023), Ilfov (2,979) and Cluj (2,597).
Does it matter whether the CAEN code is primary or secondary?
It depends on the guide: some programmes require the funded activity to be the main code, while others accept a secondary code authorised at the investment location. Companies now hold codes under CAEN revision 2 or 3; the lists here include the equivalences between the two revisions.
