Dataset is not available.
This table contains information (including uncertainty margins) about the opinion of Dutch entrepreneurs about developments, expectations and judgments regarding their business.
By means of a panel study insight is gained into the current situation, the future development and the judgments of the Dutch business community. As a result, it is possible to signal changes in optimism or pessimism at an early stage and thus to obtain an early indication of a possible trend change in the economic activities of the Dutch business community. The data can be broken down into business activities according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC 2008). The questions submitted to the entrepreneurs relate among other things to production, turnover, prices, staff size, economic climate and profitability. In answering questions relating to developments in the past three months and to expectations for the next three months, entrepreneurs are asked to make a comparison with the preceding three-month period.
Status of the figures: All data are definite.
Data available from: 1st quarter 2016 - 2nd quarter 2023.
Changes as of July 27, 2023:
This table has been discontinued. The reason for this is the introduction of confidence margins in all related tables, making this table redundant.
When will new figures be published?

Description topics
- Turnover and selling prices
- The weighted response rates to the questions:
- "Our turnover / marketing in the last three months increased
remained unchanged or decreased? "
- "Our turnover / marketing in the next three months will grow,
remain unchanged or decrease? "
Weighted response rates to the question:
- "Our total turnover will increase in the next year,
remain unchanged or decrease? "
- "Our foreign turnover / marketing in the last three months increased remained unchanged or decreased? "
- "Our foreign turnover will increase over the next three months,
remain unchanged or decrease? "
- "Our foreign turnover will increase in the next year,
remain unchanged or decrease? "
- "Our selling prices / rates over the next three months
will increase, remain unchanged or decrease? ".- Turnover last three months
- The weighted response rate of producers with increased
turnover minus the rate of producers with decreased turnover.
This balance provides insight into the direction in which the turnover in the previous three months has developed.
- 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.
- Turnover next year
- 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 year.
- Foreign turnover last three months
- The weighted response rate of producers with increased
foreign turnover minus the rate of producers with decreased turnover.
This balance provides insight into the direction in which the foreign turnover in the previous three months has developed.
- Foreign turnover next three months
- The weighted response rate of producers with an expected increase in foreign turnover minus the weighted response rate of producers with an expected decrease in foreign turnover. This balance shows the expected development of foreign turnover in the next three months.
- Foreign turnover next year
- The weighted response rate of producers with an expected increase in foreign turnover minus the weighted response rate of producers with an expected decrease in foreign turnover. This balance shows the expected development of foreign turnover in the next year.
- Selling prices / rates next three months
- The weighted response rate of producers who expect a
increase of selling prices / rates, minus the weighted respons rate of
producers who expect a decrease of selling prices / rates.
This balance provides insight into the expected development of selling prices / rates in the next three months.
- Orders (intake and placed)
- The weighted response rates to the questions:
- "The value of the total orders received in the last three months
increased, remained unchanged or decreased? '.
- "The value of the intake of orders in the next three months
will increase, remaine unchanged or decrease? '.
- "The value of the intake of export orders in the next three
months will increase, remain unchanged or decrease? '.
- "The value of the orders we expect to place with suppliers in the next three months will increase, remain unchanged or decrease? "
- "The total order book shows - during normal working hours - .. months of work? "
- "The total order position, we assess, given the time of year
as (too) large, normal or (too) small? "
- "The foreign order books, we assess, given the time of the years,
as (too) large, normal or (too) small? "- Order intake last three months
- The weighted response rate of producers who reported an increase in orders received minus the weighted response rate of producers that reported a decrease. This balance gives insight into the development of value of the total orders received in the last three months.
- Expected order intake next three months
- The weighted response rate of producers who reported an increase in the intake orders received minus the weighted response rate of producers that reported a decrease. This balance gives insight into the development of value of the total intake of orders in the next three months.
- Export orders next three months
- The weighted response rate of producers with an expected
increase of export orders minus the weighted response rate of
producers with an expected decrease. This balance provides insight
into the expected evolution of export orders in the next three months.
- Purchase orders next three months
- The weighted response rate of producers with an expected
increase of purchase orders minus the weighted response rate of
producers with an expected decrease. This balance provides insight
into the expected evolution of purchase orders in the next three months.
- Assessment order position
- The weighted response rate of producers indicating that they consider the level of the order book as large, minus the rate of producers who consider the level as small.
This balance represents, compared to the previous balances, the current assessment of satisfaction of the producers about their order books.
