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 figures in this table are definite.

Changes as of May 16th 2024:
Figures of April 2024 have been added.

When will new figures be published?
Figures of May are expected to be published the 30th of May 2024.

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

This balance provides insight into the development of investments in the current year.
Business climate last 3 months
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.
