Investment motives by enterprises; expectation and realization

This table contains figures on investment expectations and realizations for the purchase of tangible fixed assets from companies in the industry and energy. The data can be broken down by investment motive (emission reduction, energy reduction, circular production, digitization and other) and industry/sector according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SBI 2008) of Statistics Netherlands.

The amount of investments fluctuates greatly over time. Investment expectations can also be subject to fluctuations. For example, companies can adjust their expectations during the course of the year because they decide to cancel, postpone or accelerate investment projects. In addition, the date of delivery of the tangible fixed assets may shift. The data is available per sector within industry and energy.

The statistic “Investments; expectations and achievements” is realized with co-financing by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate and is carried out annually in February by Statistics Netherlands.
