Table explanation
This table contains seasonally corrected information about the opinions of Dutch entrepreneurs about developments, expectations and judgments regarding their business. The questions submitted to the entrepreneurs relate among other things to turnover, prices, staff size, economic climate and profitability. The data can be broken down into business activities according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC 2008).
Seasonal adjustment involves correcting for a more or less fixed seasonal pattern as a result of circumstances in the different seasons. The applied seasonal correction allows direct comparison of figures from successive periods.
Data available from: January 2012
Status of the figures:
The results are provisional during the reporting year. The results will be declared final in the first month following the reporting year.
Changes compared to the previous version:
Data for a new period has been added.
The structure of this table has been updated to match that of the Dutch version of this table. This does not affect the figures.
Changes as of September 4th 2025:
Corrections have been made to previously supplied data for the manufacture of metals. For this reason figures for the topic ‘Purchase orders next 3 months’ has been adjusted for C Manufacturing and other activities which manufacturing is part of.
When will new figures be published?
The results for the next month are expected to be published on May 11, 2026.
Description topics
- Turnover last 3 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 3 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.
- Selling prices/rates next 3 months
- 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.
- Purchase orders next 3 months
- The weighted response rate of producers with an expected increase of purchase orders minus the weighted response rate of producers with an expected decrease. This balance provides insight into the expected evolution of purchase orders in the next three months.
- Workforce last 3 months
- The weighted response rate of producers with an increase in workforce minus the weighted response rate of producers with a decrease in workforce. This balance provides insight into the development of the workforce in the last three months.
- Workforce next 3 months
- The weighted response rate of producers with an expected increase in workforce minus the weighted response rate of producers with an expected decrease in workforce in the next three months. This balance provides insight into the development of the workforce in the next three months.
- Investments current year
- The weighted response rate of producers with an expected increase in investments minus the weighted response rate of producers with an expected decrease in investments in the current year, compared with last years investments. This balance provides insight into the development of investments in the current year.

- The weighted response rate of producers indicating that the economic climate (business situation) in the last three months has improved minus the weighted response rate that it has declined. This balance represents the development of the economic climate (business situation) over the last three months compared with the previous three months.
- Business climate next 3 months
- The weighted response rate of producers indicating that the economic climate (business situation) in the next three months will improve minus the weighted response rate that it will decline. This balance represents the expected development of the economic climate over the next three months compared with the previous three months.
- Profitability last 3 months
- The weighted response rate of producers indicating that the profitability in the last three months has improved minus the weighted response rate that it has declined. This balance represents the development of the profitability over the last three months compared with the previous three months.
