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.
Description topics
- 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,
7 - other causes?"- Labour shortage
- Weighted response rate of producers at the beginning of the quarter indicating that shortage of labour force is a barrier for their
activities.
- Workforce
- The weighted response rates to the questions:
- "The workforce in the last three months has increased, remained unchanged or decreased?"
- "The workforce will in the next three months increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"
- "The workforce will in the next year increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"- Workforce last three months
- The weighted response rates to the question:
- "The workforce in the last three months has increased, remained unchanged or decreased?"- Workforce has increased
- Weighted response rate of producers indicating that workforce for their business in the last three months has increased.
- Workforce remained unchanged
- Weighted response rate of producers indicating that the workforce for their business in the last three months has remained the same.
- Workforce has decreased
- Weighted response rate of producers indicating that the workforce for their business in the last three months has decreased.
- Balance workforce last three months
- The weighted response rate of producers with an increase in workforce minus the weighted response rate of producers with a decrease in workforce. This balance provides insight into the development of the workforce in the last three months.

- The weighted response rates to the question:
- "The workforce will in the next three months increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"- Workforce will increase
- Weighted response rate of producers who expect the workforce for the company over the next three months will increase.
- Workforce will remain unchanged
- Weighted response rate of producers who expect the workforce for the company over the next three months will remain unchanged.
- Workforce will decrease
- Weighted response rate of producers who expect the workforce for the company over the next three months will decrease.
- Balance workforce next three months
- The weighted response rate of producers with an expected increase in workforce minus the weighted response rate of producers with an expected decrease in workforce in the next three months. This balance provides insight into the development of the workforce in the next three months.
- Workforce next year
- The weighted response rates to the question:
- "The workforce will in the next year increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"- Workforce will increase
- Weighted response rate of producers who expect the workforce for the company will increase in the next year.
- Workforce will remain unchanged
- Weighted response rate of producers indicating that the workforce for their business in the next year will remain the same.
