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.
