Business Survey in the Netherlands; key figures 2016-2023

This table contains information (including uncertainty margins) about the opinion of Dutch entrepreneurs about developments, expectations and judgments with regard to their company. By means of a panel study, insight is gained into the current situation, the future development and the opinions of the Dutch business community. This makes it possible to identify changes in optimism or pessimism at an early stage and thus obtain an early indication of a possible trend change in the economic activities of the Dutch business community. The data can be broken down into business activities according to the Standard Business Classification (SBI 2008). The questions that were put to the entrepreneurs relate to production, turnover, prices, staff size, economic climate and profitability, among other things. When answering the questions relating to developments in the past three months and expectations for the coming three months, the entrepreneurs are asked to make a comparison with the preceding three-month period. Data available from: 1st quarter 2016 - 2nd quarter 2023. Status of the figures: The published figures are final. Changes as of July 27, 2023: This table has been discontinued. The reason for this is that confidence margins now appear in all tables with COEN results, making this table superfluous. When will new figures be available? Not applicable anymore.
