POSLOVNE TENDENCE V TRGOVINI NA DROBNO, SLOVENIJA, APRIL 2005 
BUSINESS TENDENCY IN RETAIL TRADE, SLOVENIA, APRIL 2005 
   
 V aprilu 2005 se je desezonirana vrednost kazalca zaupanja v 
trgovini na drobno glede na pretekli mesec dvignila za 4 odstotne 
točke. Vrednost kazalca se je dvignila tudi v primerjavi z lanskim 
aprilom in v primerjavi z lanskim povprečjem, in sicer za 2 odstotni 
točki oziroma 1 odstotno točko. 
 In April 2005 the seasonally adjusted retail trade confidence 
indicator showed an increase compared to the previous month, 
i.e. by 4 percentage points. The indicator also went up compared 
to April 2004 and to last year's average, i.e. by 2 percentage 
points and 1 percentage point, respectively. 
 Na dvig vrednosti kazalca zaupanja sta vplivali boljši oceni 
sedanjega  in pričakovanega poslovnega položaja ter ocena o 
zmanjšanem obsegu zalog. 
 This rise of the confidence indicator was determined by the 
improvement in the assessment of the present and expected business 
situation as well as by the assessment of the lower volume of stocks. 
 
 Večina kazalcev stanj se je izboljšala, le kazalca obseg zalog in 
prodajne cene sta se poslabšala. Tudi večina kazalcev pričakovanj 
se je izboljšala, razen kazalcev pričakovane prodajne cene in 
pričakovano povpraševanje, ki sta se poslabšala. 
 Situation indicators mostly improved. Only the indicators of the 
volume of stocks and the selling prices worsened. The expectation 
indicators mostly improved also. Exceptions were indicators of the 
expected selling prices and expected demand, which worsened.

METODOLOŠKA POJASNILA  METHODOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS 
NAMEN STATISTIČNEGA RAZISKOVANJA  PURPOSE OF THE STATISTICAL SURVEY 
Namen kvalitativne Ankete o poslovnih tendencah v trgovini na drobno
(vprašalnik PA-TRG) je mesečno pridobivanje informacij o trenutnih
stanjih glavnih ekonomskih kazalcev ter ocenitev njihovega gibanja v
naslednjih mesecih. Rezultati anket so osnova za izračun kazalca
zaupanja v trgovini na drobno in kazalca gospodarske klime, ki vključuje
poleg kazalca zaupanja v trgovini na drobno tudi kazalec zaupanja pri
potrošnikih in kazalec zaupanja v predelovalnih dejavnostih. 
 The purpose of the qualitative Survey on Business Tendency
(questionnaire PA-TRG) is to get monthly information about current
situations of major economic indicators and to evaluate their movement in
the following months. The results of the survey are the basis for
evaluation of the confidence indicator in retail trade and latter on also for
the sentiment indicator, which also includes the consumer confidence
indicator and the confidence indicator in manufacturing. 
Panelno anketo o poslovnih tendencah v trgovini na drobno izvajamo v
Sloveniji od januarja 1999 s poenotenim vprašalnikom, na podlagi
poenotene metodologije in z enako periodiko, kakor jo izvajajo v državah
članicah Evropske unije že več desetletij, kar omogoča neposredno
primerljivost podatkov. 
 The Panel Survey on Business Tendency in Retail Trade is being carried
out in Slovenia since January 1999 with the harmonised questionnaire,
methodology and periodicity, which have been used in EU Member
States for several decades. Therefore, all data are directly comparable. 
ENOTA OPAZOVANJA  OBSERVATION UNITS 
Opazujemo podjetja, ki so po Standardni klasifikaciji dejavnosti
razvrščena v trgovino na drobno, in sicer v naslednja oddelka: 
− 50 - Prodaja, vzdrževanje in popravila motornih vozil; trgovina na
drobno z motornimi gorivi, 
− 52 - Trgovina na drobno, razen z motornimi vozili; popravila izdelkov
široke porabe. 
 We are monitoring units that are registered in retail trade or sale of motor
vehicles in the following divisions: 
− 50 - Sale, maintenance and repair of motor vehicles, retail sale of
fuels 
− 52 - Retail trade, except of motor vehicles, repair of personal and
household goods 
Vzorec podjetij je oblikovan na podlagi dveh meril: 
− razvrstitve trgovskega podjetja po SKD-ju in 
 
− velikosti trgovskega podjetja (prihodek, skladno z zakonom o
gospodarskih družbah). 
 They were selected into the panel by two criteria: 
− the classification of the enterprise according to the Standard
Classification of Activities (SCA) and 
− the size of the enterprises (turnover in accordance with the Law on
Business Companies). 
VIRI  SOURCES 
Na vprašalnik PA - TRG odgovarjajo direktorji podjetij ali drugi vodilni
delavci med 1. in 10. v mesecu. 
 Respondents answering to the monthly PA-TRG questionnaire are
managers of enterprises or other executives. They respond between the
1st and the 10th of the month. 
ZAJETJE  COVERAGE 
V panelni vzorec smo zajeli vsa velika in srednje velika podjetja ter 32 %
malih podjetij (ali 39 % prihodka malih podjetij), ki so razvrščena v
dejavnost trgovine na drobno ali trgovine z motornimi vozili. Opisani
panelni vzorec pokriva 43 % podjetij vzorčnega okvira ali 94 % prihodka v
trgovini na drobno in trgovini z motornimi vozili. 
 The panel includes all large and medium-sized enterprises and 32% of
small enterprises (or 39% of their turnover), the principal activity of which
is classified into retail trade and sale of motor vehicles. The panel covers
43% of enterprises of the studied population or 94% of turnover in retail
trade and sale of motor vehicles. 
NAČIN ZBIRANJA PODATKOV  METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION 
Anketo izvajamo mesečno po pošti.  The survey is carried out monthly by mail. 
UTEŽEVANJE ODGOVOROV  WEIGHTS FOR RESPONSES 
Odgovori so uteženi tako, da odražajo relativno pomembnost
posameznega podjetja v vzorcu. Znotraj razredov SKD so odgovori
uteženi s prihodkom. 
 Responses to individual questions are weighted so that they reflect
relative importance of an individual enterprise in the panel. Inside the
SCA classes responses are weighted with the turnover. 
NEODGOVORI  NON-RESPONSES 
Neodgovore vsak mesec obdelamo skladno s poenoteno metodologijo.  Non-responses are processed every month in accordance with the
harmonized methodology. 
DEFINICIJE IN POJASNILA  DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS 
Ravnotežje je razlika med pozitivnimi in negativnimi odgovori, izraženimi
v odstotkih. Ravnotežja prikazujejo gibanje opazovanih ekonomskih
kazalcev (stanj in pričakovanj), ne pa dejanskih velikosti ekonomskih
kazalcev. Grafikoni prikazujejo ravnotežja po posameznih vprašanjih. 
 The balance is the difference between positive and negative answers,
expressed in percent. The balance shows the movement of observed
economic indicators (present situation and future expectations), and not
the real size of economic indicators. The charts show the balance by
individual questions. 
 Statistične informacije, št. 123/2005

Grafi prikazujejo desezonirane vrednosti. To so vrednosti, pri katerih je
izločen vpliv sezonskih dejavnikov, vsebujejo pa trend - cikel in naključno
komponento. Podatki za EU so desezonirani z metodo DAINTIES, za
Slovenijo pa z metodo TRAMO/SEATS, ki temelji na ARIMA modelih.  
 Data in the charts are seasonally adjusted. Values are adjusted for the
seasonal component and include the trend-cycle component and the
irregular component. Data for the EU are seasonally adjusted by the
DAINTIES method and for Slovenia by the TRAMO/SEATS method,
which is based on ARIMA models.  
Pri oblikovanju modelov smo upoštevali obdobje od januarja 1999 do
januarja 2005. Pri pričakovanem povpraševanju se model za leto 2005
zaradi narave podatkov razlikuje od modela za leto 2004. Pri sedanjem
poslovnem položaju, obsegu zalog, pričakovanem zaposlovanju,
prodajnih cenah, pričakovanih prodajnih cenah, ravni prodaje in gibanju
prodaje za to obdobje leta sezonska komponenta ni prisotna. 
 The designing of the models is based on the time period from January
1999 to January 2005. Due to the nature of the data, the 2005 model
differs from the 2004 model as regards expected demand. Present
business situation, volume of stocks, expected employment, selling
prices, selling prices expectations, level of sales and evolution of sales for
this period of year have no seasonal component. 
Kazalec zaupanja je povprečje odgovorov (ravnotežij) na vprašanja o
sedanjem in pričakovanem poslovnem položaju ter sedanjem obsegu
zalog (obrnjen predznak). 
 The confidence indicator shows an average of responses (balances) to
questions on present and expected business situation and present
volume of stocks (the latter with inverted sign).

KOMENTAR  COMMENT 
V aprilu 2005 se je desezonirana vrednost kazalca
zaupanja v trgovini na drobno glede na pretekli mesec
dvignila za 4 odstotne točke. Na dvig vrednosti kazalca
zaupanja sta vplivali boljši oceni sedanjega in
pričakovanega poslovnega položaja ter ocena o
zmanjšanem obsegu zalog. Vrednost kazalca se je
dvignila tudi v primerjavi z lanskim aprilom in v
primerjavi z lanskim povprečjem, in sicer za 2 odstotni
točki oziroma 1 odstotno točko. 
 In April 2005 the seasonally adjusted retail trade
confidence indicator showed an increase compared to
the previous month, i.e. by 4 percentage points. This
rise was due to the improvement in the assessment of
the present and expected business situation as well as
by the assessment of the lower volume of stocks. The
indicator also went up compared to April 2004 and to
last year's average, i.e. by 2 percentage points and 1
percentage point, respectively.
