Table explanation


This table presents information on turnover and volume developments in the sector Retail Trade (Section F according to the Standard Industrial Classification 2008 (SIC 2008)).

Description topics

Turnover trading day adjusted
By clearing the monthly results for trading day effects, month-to-month developments can be followed more clearly. For example, a turnaround in the increase or decrease in turnover can be determined more quickly than if there were no trading day adjustments.                        
Indices
An index compares the value of a variable (e.g. turnover) in a certain period with the value of the same variable in the base period. The index of this base period is 100.

Turnover is defined as the value of sales of goods and services to third parties, VAT excluded. Turnover includes the main activity as well as secondary activities. Third parties are consumers and enterprises not belonging to (the Dutch part of) the own group of companies.
Value
The development of the cash yield of the turnover.

Volume
Turnover adjusted for price developments.

The development has not been observed, but is calculated. The amount of goods and services sold in a certain period is calculated by Statistics Netherlands by dividing the value of the turnover by the price.
