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
Changes as of May 17, 2023:
The results for second quarter 2023 have been added.
The privacy protection protocol for results from 2016 and onwards has been tightened. For this reason, more results have been omitted. Some figures between the years 2016 and 2022 were not displayed correctly and have been adjusted.
Also, the method for rounding has been adjusted and therefore figures may be adjusted by 0,1.
When will new figures be published?
The results for third quarter 2023 are expected to be published 15 August 2023.
