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.

- "Our turnover / marketing in the next three months will grow,
remain unchanged or decrease? "
- "Our selling prices / rates over the next three months
will increase, remain unchanged or decrease? ".- Turnover next three months
- Weighted response rates to the question:
- "Our total turnover will increase over the next three months,
remain unchanged or decrease? "- Balance turnover next three months
- The weighted response rate of producers with an expected increase in
turnover minus the weighted response rate of producers with an expected decrease in turnover. This balance shows the expected development of turnover in the next three months.
- Selling prices / rates next three months
- Selling prices / rates next three months
weighted response rates to the question:
- "Our selling prices / rates over the next three months will
rise, remain unchanged or fall? "- Balance selling prices / rates
- The weighted response rate of producers who expect a
rise of selling prices / rates, minus the weighted respons rate of
producers who expect a fall of selling prices / rates.
This balance provides insight into the expected development of selling
prices / rates in the next three months.
