Nozares

Nozares is the Latvian term for industries or economic sectors. The plural form nozares is used to describe the broad categories of economic activity that compose an economy, such as agriculture, manufacturing, construction, services, information and communication, and health care.

In statistical and policy contexts, nozares group firms and activities that share similar production processes, inputs, or outputs. Latvia uses international classifications, such as NACE Rev. 2, to organize data by nozares. Data on employment, value added, and output are commonly presented by sector to facilitate comparisons over time and with other countries.

The concept is fundamental to economic analysis, regional development, and industrial policy. By examining trends within and across nozares, analysts can identify growth opportunities, structural changes, and potential vulnerabilities. Policymakers may target investments, regulation, education, and training to specific nozares to support balanced development or modernization.

Usage and note: nozares can refer to sectors broadly or to more specific industries within a sector, depending on context. The term is used in official statistics, economics literature, media reporting, and educational materials. Related terms include nozare (singular, meaning a branch or sector) and sectoral policy, GDP by sector, and the economy of Latvia.
