Table explanation

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

Changes compared to the previous version:
Data for a new period has been added.

The order of figures for the topics for ‘Foreign turnover next year’ and ‘Selling prices/rates next three months’ have been aligned with the Dutch version of this table.

Changes as of September 4th 2025:

For this reason figures for the topics ‘Assessment of finished products stocks’ and ‘Orders placed next three months’ have been adjusted for 24-25 Man.
