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 March 28th 2024:
Figures of March 2024 have been added.
An improvement has been made to the calculation of the margins. This may result in a small change in the upper and lower limit of the margin. The values are unchanged.
From now on figures will be labeled as seasonally adjusted or original, even if the table only contains one of these data types.
Data from October 2023 for sector F Construction has been corrected, which has led to small changes in all aggregations that include this sector for that period.
Changes as of March 7th 2024:
Due to a technical issue most figures of February 2024 were divided by 100. This now has been corrected.
When will new figures be published?
Figures of April are expected to be published the 16th of May 2024.
