POSLOVNE TENDENCE V TRGOVINI NA DROBNO, SLOVENIJA, FEBRUAR 2005 
BUSINESS TENDENCY IN RETAIL TRADE, SLOVENIA, FEBRUARY 2005 
   
 V februarju 2005 je bila desezonirana vrednost kazalca zaupanja 
v trgovini na drobno glede na pretekli mesec nižja za 2 odstotni 
točki. Vrednost kazalca je padla tudi v primerjavi z lanskim 
februarjem in v primerjavi z lanskim povprečjem, in sicer za 3 
odstotne točke oziroma 2 odstotni točki. 
 In February 2005 the seasonally adjusted retail trade confidence 
indicator fell by 2 percentage points compared to the previous 
month. Its value also went down compared to February 2004 and 
to last year's average, i.e. by 3 and 2 percentage points, 
respectively. 
 Na padec vrednosti kazalca zaupanja je vplivalo poslabšanje 
kazalca pričakovani poslovni položaj. Po drugi strani pa sta 
kazalca sedanji poslovni položaj in obseg zalog pozitivno vplivala 
na gibanje kazalca zaupanja. 
 The drop in the confidence indicator was influenced by the 
worsening of the indicator of the expected business situation. On 
the other hand, the indicators of the present business situation 
and the present stocks positively influenced its development. 
 
 Kazalci stanj so se izboljšali. Izjema sta bila kazalca obseg zalog 
in gibanje prodaje za to obdobje leta. Po drugi strani pa so se vsi 
kazalci pričakovanj poslabšali, razen kazalca pričakovane 
prodajne cene. 
 Situation indicators improved, only the indicators of present stocks 
and evolution of sales for this period of year worsened. On the 
other hand, all expectation indicators worsened, except the 
indicator of selling prices expectations.

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. 
 We have been carrying out the Panel Survey on Business Tendency in
Retail Trade 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. 
 Persons responding 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 26 %
malih podjetij (ali 37 % prihodka malih podjetij), ki so razvrščena v 
dejavnost trgovine na drobno ali trgovine z motornimi vozili. Opisani
panelni vzorec pokriva 36 % podjetij vzorčnega okvira ali 93 % prihodka v
trgovini na drobno in trgovine z motornimi vozili. 
 The panel includes all large and medium-sized enterprises and 26% of
small enterprises (or 37% of their turnover), the principal activity of which
is classified into retail trade and sale of motor vehicles. The panel covers
36% of enterprises of the studied population or 93% 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 izražajo relativno pomembnost 
posameznega podjetja v vzorcu. Znotraj razredov SKD-ja 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
SKD 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. 62/2005

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. 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. 
 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. 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. Business situation, present 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 in sedanjem obsegu
zalog (obrnjen predznak). 
 The confidence indicator shows an average of responses (balances) to
questions on present and expected business trend and present stock (the
latter with inverted sign).

KOMENTAR  COMMENT 
V februarju 2005 je bila desezonirana vrednost kazalca zaupanja v
trgovini na drobno glede na pretekli mesec nižja za 2 odstotni točki.
Vrednost kazalca je padla tudi v primerjavi z lanskim februarjem in v
primerjavi z lanskim povprečjem, in sicer za 3 odstotne točke
oziroma 2 odstotni točki. 
 In February 2005 the seasonally adjusted retail trade confidence
indicator fell by 2 percentage points compared to the previous
month. Its value also went down compared to February 2004 and to
last year's average, i.e. by 3 and 2 percentage points, respectively. 
Na padec vrednosti kazalca zaupanja je vplivalo poslabšanje kazalca
pričakovani poslovni položaj. Po drugi strani pa sta kazalca sedanji
poslovni položaj in obseg zalog pozitivno vplivala na gibanje kazalca 
zaupanja. 
 The drop in the confidence indicator was influenced by the worsening of
the indicator of the expected business situation. On the other hand, the
indicators of the present business situation and the present stocks
positively influenced its development. 
Kazalci stanj so se izboljšali. Izjema sta bila kazalca obseg zalog in
gibanje prodaje za to obdobje leta. Po drugi strani pa so se vsi kazalci
pričakovanj poslabšali, razen kazalca pričakovane prodajne cene. 
 Situation indicators improved, only the indicators of present stocks and
evolution of sales for this period of year worsened. On the other hand, all
expectation indicators worsened, except the indicator of selling prices
expectations. 
   
PRIČAKOVANJA  EXPECTATIONS 
PRIČAKOVANI POSLOVNI POLOŽAJ  EXPECTED BUSINESS SITUATION 
Desezonirana vrednost kazalca pričakovani poslovni položaj se je opazno 
znižala v vseh treh primerjavah. Vrednost je glede na pretekli mesec padla

lansko povprečje za 4 odstotne točke. 
 The seasonally adjusted value of the expected business situation indicator

percentage points and compared to last year’s average by 4 percentage
points. 
PRIČAKOVANE PRODAJNE CENE  SELLING PRICES EXPECTATIONS

points, while compared to February 2004 and to last year’s average it
rose by 18 percentage points. 
PRIČAKOVANO ZAPOSLOVANJE  EXPECTED EMPLOYMENT 
Vrednost kazalca pričakovano zaposlovanje je izrazito padla. V primerjavi
