Explanation of symbols

Table explanation


This table provides up-to-date information about the opinions held by Dutch entrepreneurs on their achievements, expectations and judgments regarding their business. This panel is aimed at gaining insight into the current situation, future development and judgments of Dutch enterprises. As a result it is possible to detect turning points in optimism or pessimism at an early stage, providing an early indication of possible trend changes in the economic activities of Dutch enterprises. Data are broken down by main business activity (SIC 2008) and region. The questions submitted to the entrepreneurs at the beginning of a quarter concern output, turnover, prices, order books, stocks, investments, competitive position, economic climate, staff size and the obstacles they have encountered. In answering the questions relating to developments in the past three months and expectations for the next three months, the entrepreneurs are asked for a comparison with the preceding period of three months.

Data available from: first quarter 2012 - second quarter 2023.

Status of the figures: All figures are definitive.

Changes as of July 27, 2023:
This table has been discontinued. The reason for this is the expansion of the table with monthly figures and the reclassification of the table in response to stricter confidentiality rules

When will new figures be published?
Does not apply.
This table is followed by Business survey Netherlands; to regions (active on August 15, 2023). See paragraph 3.

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? "
Production / activity past three months
Production / activity last three months
The weighted response rates to the question:
- "The level of production / activity in the last three months,
has increased, remained unchanged or decreased? "
Production/ activity has increased
The weighted response rate of producers indicating that the
production / activity in the last three months has increased.
Production/activity remained unchanged
The weighted response rate of producers indicating that the
production / activity in the last three months remained unchanged.
Production / activity has decreased
The weighted response rate of producers indicating that the
production / activity in the last three months has decreased.
Balance production last three months
The weighted response rate of producers with increased
production / activity minus the rate of producers with a
decreased production. This balance shows the direction in which the production / activity in the last three months has developed.
Production / activity next three months
The weighted response rates to the question:
- "The level of production / activity in the next three
month will increase, remain unchanged or decrease? "
Production / activity will increase
Weighted response rate of producers who expect the
production / activity in the next three months will increase.
Production/activity will be unchanged
Weighted response rate of producers who expect the
production / activity in the next three months will remain unchanged.
Production / activity will decrease
Weighted response rate of producers who expect the production /
activity in the next three months will decrease.
Balance production next three months
The weighted response rate of producers who expect an increase in
production / activity minus the weighted response rate of producers
who expect a decrease in production / activity. This balance shows
the direction in which the production / activity in the next three
months is expected to develop.
Factors limiting production
The weighted response rates to the question:
- "Our production / business experience barriers:
1 - no barriers,
2 - insufficient demand,
3 - shortage of labour force,
4 - shortages of production equipment, materials, commodities, (retail) space
5 - financial constraints,
6 - weather conditions or
7 - other causes?
None
Weighted response rate of producers indicating that at the
