Dataset is not available.
This table provides up-to-date information, including uncertainty margins, about the opinions held by Dutch entrepreneurs on their achievements, expectations and judgments regarding their business. This panel survey 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 (SITC 2008). 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: January 2012
Status of the figures: All figures are definitive.
Changes as of August 30th, 2023:
This is the first publication of the table with figures from January 2012 to August 2023.
The SIC aggregate ‘C industry, H-S services and 45+47’ has been added.
The SIC aggregate ’49-96 Total services’ has been replaced by ‘H-S Total services’; only the naming has been changed, the results remain unchanged.
For the indicator ‘Factor limiting production’ the variables now add up to more than 100% in most cases, because entrepreneurs can enter a maximum of 2 answers for this question. Previously figures were normalized and would add up to 100%.
When will new figures be published?
Figures of September are expected to be published the 28th of September.
