in sentiment at an early stage. In this way a change in the trend of economic activity of Dutch companies is available at a early stage. The questions put to the companies relate to production,sales, prices, orders, stocks, investment, competitiveness,economic climate, workforce and the factors limiting production. In answering the questions relating to developments in the past three months and expectations for the next tree months, the enterpreneurs are asked for a comparison with the preceding period of three months.

Description topics
- Production and capacity utilisation
- The weighted response rates to the questions:
- "The level of production / activity in the last three months
has increased, remained unchanged or decreased? "
- "The level of production / activity in the next three months
will increase, remain unchanged or decrease? "
- "The occupation / use of our available production capacity
is currently around ...% "
- "We assess the current production capacity, given the expected
market development as (too) large, normal or (too) small? "- Capacity utilisation
- The weighted response rate to the question:
- "The occupation / use of our available production capacity
is currently around ...% "- Capacity utilisation
- The weighted response rate to the question:
- "The occupation / use of our available production capacity
is currently around ...% "
- Assessment of production capacity
- The weighted response rates to the question:
- "We assess the current production capacity, given the expected
market development as (too) large, normal or (too) small? "- Production capacity is (too) large
- Weighted response rate of producers who consider the current
production capacity is (too) large, given the expected market development.
- Production capacity is normal
- Weighted response rate of producers who consider the current
production capacity as normal, given the expected market development.
- Production capacity is (too) small
- Weighted response rate of producers who consider the current
production capacity is (too) small, given the expected market development.
- Not applicable
- The weighted response rate of producers who consider
production capacity not to be relevant for their enterprise plus the
weighted response rate of producers who were not asked the question.
- Balance assessed capacity
- The weighted response rate of producers indicating that the
production capacity is (too) large minus the rate of producers
that consider this capacity is (too) small. This balance represents,
compared to the previous balances, the current assessment of shortage or surplus of available capacity.
