Due to an error made while processing the data, the initial preliminary figures for government expenditure in 2024 were calculated incorrectly, which means that the figure published for the general government balance was also incorrect. It concerns a decrease in government expenditure. Therefore, the general government balance is 2.3 billion euros higher than originally reported. This means the government deficit is equivalent to 0.9 percent of GDP, rather than the 1.1 percent published previously.

Due to an error made while processing the data, the initial preliminary figures for government expenditure in 2024 were calculated incorrectly, which means that the figure published for the general government balance was also incorrect. We refer to the Government Finance Statistics for the current figures. Until the publication end of June the Sector accounts therefore diverge from the Government Finance Statistics.

The data on the proximity of jobs have been removed from the table for the years 2021 and 2022. The source file for this facility has changed as of reporting year 2021, meaning that the location of a significant proportion of jobs is no longer known. Due to this change, the proximity of jobs can no longer be calculated with the same accuracy as in previous years. The figures for all provisions for reporting year 2022 were recalculated following the introduction of a new version of the required software, which included a different method of rounding compared to previous years. Compared to the publication of October 2024, the results are unchanged for the whole of the Netherlands. For some municipalities, the distances have now decreased by at most 0.5 km. For some districts and neighbourhoods, the distances decreased by no more than 2.1 km. The figures for all provisions for reporting year 2023 were recalculated following the introduction of a new version of the required software, which included a different method of rounding compared to previous years. Various improvements and corrections were also made to the road network. For the whole of the Netherlands on average, distances have decreased by up to 0.1 km. For some municipalities, the distances decreased by up to 1.2 km. For some districts and neighbourhoods, distances decreased by up to 4.6 km and increased by up to 2.3 km in other districts and neighbourhoods.

For applicants with the attribute 'unknown' (branches, company size and country of ultimate controlling institutional unit), no link is available with the General Business Register. In the past, links for these applicants were forwarded from other statistical years where a link was possible, but for the sake of consistency with the General Business Register, a link is only assigned if the company is actually listed in the General Business Register in the same year as the patent application. The change results in approximately 10 to 120 patent applicants per statistical year no longer being linked to the register and receiving the attribute ‘unknown’. These are mostly companies that are newly created and not yet included in the register or companies that have just ceased to exist in the same year that the patent application was registered. In recent years, there have also been changes to the PATSTAT source data for statistical years that have since been given a 'final' status. Patents may still have been added to the PATSTAT database with long delays, or they may have been removed from the database. This revision makes all statistical years consistent with the most recent PATSTAT source data which was made available at the end of 2024. The adjustment affects at most a few dozen patent applications per statistical year (increase or decrease).

An error in the totals of the WIPO technology fields has been fixed. The numbers from the 'Handling' category were incorrectly assigned to the 'Chemistry' technology field instead of 'Mechanical Engineering'. In addition, in the StatLine table, the total for 'Mechanical Engineering' was shown under 'Handling materials; printing' and vice versa, causing the total for 'Mechanical Engineering' to be too low and for 'Handling' to be too high. As a result of this correction, the total for 'Chemistry' is revised downward by several dozen applicants and applications per statistical year, and around 250 patent applicants and 600 patent applications that were erroneously shown under 'Handling materials; printing' per statistical year are now put back under 'Mechanical Engineering'.

The number of self-employed for the reporting years 2020 and 2022 has been corrected. The correction concerns a slight upward revision of the number of self-employed persons. The cause was an error in the software that deduces whether someone is self-employed based on the answers in the questionnaire. As a result, for some records the position in the job remained unknown, whereas it should have been self-employed (with employees). This has now been corrected.
