Explanation of symbols

Dataset is not available.


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 March 28th 2024:
Figures of March 2024 have been added.

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.

When will new figures be published?
Figures of April are expected to be published the 16th of May 2024.
