Public administration and defence; compulsory social security

Section P covers public administration and defence and compulsory social security. It has a single division (84) with three parts: public administration and policy-making (84.1), services to the community as a whole — defence, justice, public order (84.2), and compulsory social security (84.3). Most of this work is done by state and municipal budget institutions, which are not in the commercial register, so only a handful of entities are registered as companies — mainly state- or municipality-owned capital companies.

98 companies in Latvia are classified under NACE code P.
