Dataset is not available.
This table provides up-to-date information 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 the 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 the Dutch enterprises. Data are broken down by main business activities (SIC 2008) and size- classes. 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.
The aggregation ‘all enterprises (no finance or energy)’ includes all available branches questioned in the Business Survey Netherlands. Because not every branch is questioned monthly, this aggregation will only have data available for the first month of each quarter. The aggregation ‘C industry, H-S services and 45+47’ includes all monthly questioned branches and serves as a subtotal of the monthly questionnaire.
Data available from: January 2015
Status of the figures: All figures are definitive.

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.

Due to a technical issue most figures of February 2024 were divided by 100. This now has been corrected.
