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

Orders (intake and placed)
The weighted response rates to the questions:
- "The value of the total orders received in the last three months increased, remained unchanged or decreased?"
- "The value of the intake of orders in the next three months will increase, remaine unchanged or decrease?"
- "The value of the intake of export orders in the next three months will increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"
- "The value of the orders we expect to place with suppliers in the next three months will increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"
- "The total order book shows - during normal working hours - ... months of work?"
- "The total order position, we assess, given the time of year as (too) large, normal or (too) small?"
- "The foreign order books, we assess, given the time of the years, as (too) large, normal or (too) small?"
Value of orders received last 3 months
Weighted response rates to the question:
- "The value of total orders received in the last three months has increased, remained unchanged or decreased?"
Order intake increased
Weighted response rate of producers indicating that the value of the orders received in the last three months has increased.
Order intake remained unchanged
Weighted response rate of producers indicating that the value of orders received in the last three months has remained unchanged.
Order intake decreased
Weighted response rate of producers indicating that the value of the orders received in the last three months has decreased.
Not applicable
The weighted response rate of producers who consider orders reveived not to be relevant for their enterprise plus the weighted rate of producers who were not asked the question.
Balance order intake
The weighted response rate of producers who reported an increase in orders received minus the weighted response rate of producers that reported a decrease. This balance gives insight into the development of value of the total orders received in the last three months.
Value of orders expected next 3 months
Weighted response rates to the question:
- "The value of the intake of orders in the next three months will increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"
Order intake will increase
Weighted response rate of producers indicating that the value of the intake of orders will increase in the next three months.
Order intake will remain unchanged
Weighted response rate of producers indicating that the value of the intake of orders in the next three months will remain unchanged.
Order intake will decrease
Weighted response rate of producers indicating that the value of the intake of orders in the next three months will decrease.
Not applicable
The weighted response rate of producers who consider orders received not to be relevant for their enterprise plus the weighted rate of producers who were not asked the question.
Balance expected order intake
The weighted response rate of producers who reported an increase in the intake orders received minus the weighted response rate of producers that reported a decrease. This balance gives insight into the development of value of the total intake of orders in the next three months.
Value of export orders next 3 months
Weighted response rates to the question:
- "The value of the total export orders received in the next three months will increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"
Export orders will increase
Weighted response rate of producers indicating the export orders will increase in the next three months.
Export orders will remain unchanged
Weighted response rate of producers indicating the export orders will remain unchanged in the next three months.
Export orders will decrease
Weighted response rate of producers indicating the export orders will decrease in the next three months.
Not applicable
The weighted response rate of producers who consider export orders as not relevant for their enterprise plus the weighted response rate of producers who were not asked the question.
Balance export orders
The weighted response rate of producers with an expected increase of export orders minus the weighted response rate of producers with an expected decrease. This balance provides insight into the expected evolution of export orders in the next three months.
