Table explanation


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

Figures of October are expected to be published the 6th of November 2024.

Description topics

Production and capacity utilisation
The weighted response rates to the questions:
- "The level of production/activity in the last three months has increased, remained unchanged or decreased?"
- "The level of production/activity in the next three months will increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"
- "The occupation/use of our available production capacity is currently around ...%"
- "We assess the current production capacity, given the expected market development as (too) large, normal or (too) small?"
Production/activity past three months
The weighted response rates to the question:
- "The level of production/activity in the last three months, has increased, remained unchanged or decreased?"
Balance production last three months
The weighted response rate of producers with increased production/activity minus the rate of producers with a decreased production. This balance shows the direction in which the production/activity in the last three months has developed.
Production/activity next three months
The weighted response rates to the question:
- "The level of production/activity in the next three month will increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"
Balance production next three months
The weighted response rate of producers who expect an increase in production/activity minus the weighted response rate of producers who expect a decrease in production/activity. This balance shows the direction in which the production/activity in the next three months is expected to develop.
Assessment of production capacity
The weighted response rates to the question:
- "We assess the current production capacity, given the expected market development as (too) large, normal or (too) small?"
Balance assessed capacity
The weighted response rate of producers indicating that the production capacity is (too) large minus the rate of producers that consider this capacity is (too) small. This balance represents, compared to the previous balances, the current assessment of shortage or surplus of available capacity.
Turnover and selling prices
The weighted response rates to the questions:
- "Our turnover/marketing in the last three months increased remained unchanged or decreased?"
- "Our turnover/marketing in the next three months will grow, remain unchanged or decrease?"

Weighted response rates to the questions:
- "Our total turnover will increase in the next year, remain unchanged or decrease?"
- "Our foreign turnover/marketing in the last three months increased remained unchanged or decreased?"
- "Our foreign turnover will increase over the next three months, remain unchanged or decrease?"
- "Our foreign turnover will increase in the next year, remain unchanged or decrease?"
- "Our selling prices/rates over the next three months will increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"
Turnover last three months
Weighted response rates to the question:
- "Our total turnover/marketing in the last three months increased remained unchanged or decreased?"
Balance turnover last three months
The weighted response rate of producers with increased turnover minus the rate of producers with decreased turnover. This balance provides insight into the direction in which the turnover in the previous three months has developed.
Turnover next three months
Weighted response rates to the question:
- "Our total turnover over the next three months will increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"
Balance turnover next three months
The weighted response rate of producers with an expected increase in turnover minus the weighted response rate of producers with an expected decrease in turnover. This balance shows the expected development of turnover in the next three months.
Turnover next year
Weighted response rates to the question:
- "Our total turnover in the next year will increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"
Balance turnover next year
The weighted response rate of producers with an expected increase in turnover minus the weighted response rate of producers with an expected decrease in turnover. This balance shows the expected development of turnover in the next year.
Foreign turnover last three months
Weighted response rates to the question:
- "Our foreign turnover / marketing in the last three months increased, remained unchanged or decreased?"
Balance foreign turnover
The weighted response rate of producers with increased foreign turnover minus the rate of producers with decreased turnover. This balance provides insight into the direction in which the foreign turnover in the previous three months has developed.
Foreign turnover next three months
Weighted response rates to the question:
- "Our foreign turnover over the next three months will increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"
Balance foreign turnover
The weighted response rate of producers with an expected increase in foreign turnover minus the weighted response rate of producers with an expected decrease in foreign turnover. This balance shows the expected development of foreign turnover in the next three months.
Foreign turnover next year
Weighted response rates to the question:
- "Our foreign turnover in the next year will increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"
Balance foreign turnover next year
The weighted response rate of producers with an expected increase in foreign turnover minus the weighted response rate of producers with an expected decrease in foreign turnover. This balance shows the expected development of foreign turnover in the next year.
Selling prices/rates next three months
Weighted response rates to the question:
- "Our selling prices/rates over the next three months will increase, remain unchanged or decrease?"
Balance selling prices/rates
The weighted response rate of producers who expect aincrease of selling prices/rates, minus the weighted respons rate of producers who expect a decrease of selling prices/rates. This balance provides insight into the expected development of selling prices/rates in the next three months.
