Investments by enterprises in industry; expectations and motives

This table covers the investment expectations and motives of enterprises in the Dutch manufacturing industry. Every spring and autumn, Statistics Netherlands asks enterprises in this sector about their investment expectations for the current and/or subsequent calendar year. This table is compiled with cofinancing of the European Commission.
The investment motives for the current and subsequent calendar year are only asked in the annual autumn survey.
