JULIJ 2004 27 JULY 2004 17 RUDARSTVO IN PREDELOVALNE DEJAVNOSTI MINING AND MANUFACTURING št./No 15 št./No 221 Statistične informacije, št. 221/2004 2 Rapid Reports No 221/2004 Statistične informacije, št. 221/2004 Rapid Reports No 221/2004 3 Statistične informacije, št. 221/2004 4 Rapid Reports No 221/2004 Statistične informacije, št. 221/2004 Rapid Reports No 221/2004 5 Statistične informacije, št. 221/2004 6 Rapid Reports No 221/2004 METODOLOŠKA POJASNILA METHODOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS NAMEN STATISTIČNEGA RAZISKOVANJA PURPOSE OF STATISTICAL SURVEY Namen kvalitativne Ankete o poslovnih tendencah (PA-IND/M) 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 predelovalnih dejavnostih in kazalca gospodarske klime, ki vključuje poleg kazalca zaupanja v predelovalnih dejavnostih tudi kazalec zaupanja pri potrošnikih in kazalec zaupanja v trgovini na drobno. The purpose of the qualitative Survey on Business Tendency (hereinafter: PA-IND/M) 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 manufacturing and latter on also for the sentiment indicator, which also includes the consumer confidence indicator and the confidence indicator in retail trade. Panelno anketo o poslovnih tendencah v predelovalnih dejavnostih izvajamo v Sloveniji od aprila 1995 s poenotenim vprašalnikom, na podlagi poenotene metodologije in z enako periodiko, kot jo izvajajo v državah članicah Evropske unije že več desetletij. Zato so vsi podatki neposredno primerljivi. We have been carrying out the Survey on Business Tendency in Manufacturing in Slovenia since April 1995 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 razvrščena v predelovalne dejavnosti, to je v oddelke Standardne klasifikacije dejavnosti (SKD) od 15 do 36, ter so bila izbrana v panel podjetij na podlagi dveh meril: We are monitoring units that are registered in manufacturing - divisions 15 to 36 of the Standard Classification of Activities (SKD). They were selected into the panel by two criteria: velikosti podjetja (število zaposlenih, skladno z zakonom o gospodarskih družbah) in the size of the enterprise (the number of employees in accordance with the Companies Act) and razvrstitve podjetja po SKD-ju. the classification of the enterprise according to the SKD. VIRI SOURCES Na vprašalnik odgovarjajo direktorji podjetij ali drugi vodilni delavci med 1. in 10. v mesecu. Rezultate pa objavimo že okoli 20. v istem mesecu. Persons responding to the monthly questionnaire are managers of enterprises or other executives. They respond between the 1st and the 10th in the month. Results are published approximately on the 20th of the current month. ZAJETJE COVERAGE V panelni vzorec smo zajeli vas velika podjetja, 56 % srednjevelikih (ali 59 % zaposlenih) in 18 % malih podjetij (ali 20 % zaposlenih). Panelni vzorec pokriva 37 % podjetij vzorčnega okvira ali 74 % zaposlenih v predelovalnih dejavnostih. The panel includes all large enterprises, 56% of medium-sized enterprises (or 59% of employees) and 18% of small enterprises (or 20% of employees); the panel covers 37% of the enterprises of the studied population or 74% of employees in manufacturing. NAČIN ZBIRANJA PODATKOV METHOD OF DATA COLLECTING Anketo izvajamo mesečno po pošti, vsako četrtletje (januar, april, julij in oktober) pa mesečni anketi dodamo še sedem četrtletnih vprašanj. The survey is carried out monthly by mail, each quarter (January, April, July and October) we are including seven more questions to the monthly survey. UTEŽEVANJE ODGOVOROV WEIGHTS FOR RESPONSES Odgovori so uteženi tako, da odražajo relativno pomembnost posameznega podjetja v vzorcu. Znotraj oddelkov SKD so odgovori uteženi s številom zaposlenih. Responses to individual questions are weighted so that they reflect relative importance of individual enterprise in the panel. Inside divisions of Standard Classification of Activities (SKD) responses are weighted with the number of employees. NEODGOVORI NON-RESPONSES Neodgovore vsak mesec obdelamo skladno s poenoteno metodologijo; delež neodgovorov se giba med 3-15 % (povprečno 9 %). Non-responses are processed every month in accordance with the harmonised methodology and vary between 3 and 15% (9% on average). DEFINICIJE DEFINITIONS Grafikoni prikazujejo ravnotežja po posameznih vprašanjih. Ravnotežje je razlika med pozitivnimi in negativnimi odgovori, izražena v odstotkih. Ravnotežja prikazujejo gibanje opazovanih ekonomskih spremenljivk (stanj in pričakovanj), ne pa dejanskih velikosti ekonomskih kazalcev. The charts show the balance by individual questions. The balance is the difference between positive and negative answers, expressed in percent. The balance shows the movement of observed economic variables (present situation and future expectations), and not the real size of economic indicators. Statistične informacije, št. 221/2004 Rapid Reports No 221/2004 7 Ko so prikazane daljše časovne vrste podatkov ali primerjave kazalcev z EU so vrednosti desezonirane. To so vrednosti, pri katerih je izključen vpliv sezone, 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 je upoštevano časovno obdobje od marca 1995 do januarja 2004. Zaradi narave podatkov se modeli za leto 2004 razlikujejo v primerjavi z modeli za leto 2003 le pri kazalcu zaupanja. Zaradi narave podatkov časovna vrsta Ustreznost proizvodnih zmogljivosti ni desezonirana, saj sezonska komponenta ni prisotna. In the charts with longer time series or by comparisons with EU indicators, data are seasonally adjusted. Values are adjusted for seasonal component, which include trend-cycle component and irregular component. Data for EU are seasonally adjusted by DAINTIES method and for Slovenia by TRAMO/SEATS method, which is based on ARIMA models. The designing of the models is based on the time period from March 1995 till January 2004. Because of the nature of data, models for 2004 differ from those used in 2003 only by confidence indicator. Because of the nature of data the series Current production capacity is not seasonally adjusted, because of absence of seasonal component. Kazalec zaupanja je povprečje odgovorov (ravnotežij) na vprašanja o proizvodnih pričakovanjih, skupnih naročilih in zalogah končnih izdelkov (obrnjen predznak). The confidence indicator is defined as the arithmetic mean of the answers (balances) to the questions on production expectation, assessment of overall order books and assessment of stocks of finished products (the latter with inverted sign). OBJAVLJANJE PODATKOV PUBLISHING Sodelujoči v anketi prejmejo informacijo o oddelku SKD, v katerega se po dejavnosti razvrščajo in o predelovalnih dejavnostih, vendar le, če so izpolnili vprašalnik za tekoči mesec. Persons participating in the survey get the special information for division in which they are classified and for manufacturing. They get it only if they responded in the current month. Drugim uporabnikom so dostopni podatki na ravni predelovalnih dejavnosti in njenih oddelkov in po velikostnih razredih podjetij. Podatki so mesečno objavljeni v Statističnih informacijah – Poslovne tendence v predelovalnih dejavnostih in v podatkovni bazi SI-STAT na naslovu http://www.stat.si/. Other users can get data for manufacturing and its divisions and data for different size groups of enterprises. Data are published in the monthly Rapid Reports – Business tendency in manufacturing and in the database SI-STAT which is available on the http://www.stat.si/eng/.

Statistične informacije, št. 221/2004 8 Rapid Reports No 221/2004 KOMENTAR COMMENT Julija so direktorji tendence v predelovalnih dejavnostih ocenili enako kot pretekli mesec – desezonirana vrednost kazalca zaupanja je bila v juliju enaka kot v juniju. V primerjavi z istim mesecem lani je bila ta vrednost za 9 odstotnih točk višja ter za 6 odstotnih točk nad lanskim povprečjem. In July managers estimated business tendencies in manufacturing the same as in the previous month. The seasonally adjusted value of the confidence indicator was the same as in June 2004. Compared to July 2003 it was up by 9 percentage points and 6 percentage points above last year’s average. Na gibanje kazalca zaupanja v tem mesecu so vplivale večje zaloge končnih izdelkov in večja proizvodna pričakovanja ter znižanje ravni skupnih naročil, vendar se je njihovo gibanje ravno izničilo, tako da je vrednost kazalca zaupanja ostala enaka kot pretekli mesec. The evolution of the confidence indicator in this month was influenced by the rise of stocks of finished products and production expectations as well as by the fall of overall order books, however their opposite influence on the confidence indicator caused no change in its value. PROIZVODNJA in PROIZVODNA PRIČAKOVANJA PRODUCTION and PRODUCTION EXPECTATIONS Desezonirana vrednost kazalca proizvodnje je bila enaka kot pretekli mesec. Glede na isti mesec lani je bila višja za 9 odstotnih točk, glede na lansko povprečje pa za 7 odstotnih točk. The seasonally adjusted value of the production indicator remained the same as in the previous month. Compared to July 2003 it was up by 9 percentage points and compared to last year’s average by 7 percentage points. Desezonirana vrednost kazalca proizvodnih pričakovanj za naslednje 3 mesece se je znižala za 1 odstotno točko. V primerjavi z istim mesecem lani je bila višja za 2 odstotni točki in za 3 odstotne točke višja od lanskega povprečja. The seasonally adjusted value of production expectations for the next three months fell by 1 percentage point. Compared to July 2003 it was up by 2 percentage points and compared to last year’s average by 3 percentage points. ZAGOTOVLJENA PROIZVODNJA ASSURED PRODUCTION Ob julijskem proizvodnem ritmu imajo podjetja zagotovljeno proizvodnjo v povprečju za 4,3 meseca. To je za 0,1 meseca manj kot lani v tem mesecu in enako kot lansko povprečje. With the same production rhythm as in July, production in enterprises is assured on average for the next 4.3 months. This is 0.1 month less than in July 2003 and the same as last year’s average. Največ podjetij (21,1 %) ima proizvodnjo zagotovljeno v povprečju za 3 mesece. Sledijo podjetja (17,8 %), ki imajo proizvodnjo zagotovljeno v povprečju za več kot 10 mesecev, in podjetja (14,4 %), ki imajo proizvodnjo zagotovljeno v povprečju za 2 meseca. Za en mesec ima zagotovljeno proizvodnjo v povprečju 11,7 % podjetij, ob julijskem proizvodnem ritmu pa nima zagotovljene proizvodnje v povprečju 1,6 % podjetij. In most enterprises (21.1%) production is assured for three months. They are followed by enterprises whose production is assured for more than ten months (17.8%) and those in which production is assured for two months (14.4%). Should the July production rhythm continue, 11.7% of enterprises have production assured for one month and 1.6% of enterprises have no assured production. OMEJITVE V PROIZVODNJI LIMITS TO PRODUCTION Med omejitvenimi dejavniki v proizvodnji so prevladovali dejavniki iz skupine težave s preskrbo. V tem mesecu se je z njimi spopadalo 31 % zaposlenih (oziroma 30 % podjetij), kar je za 14 odstotnih točk več kot lani v tem mesecu in 10 odstotnih točk nad lanskim povprečjem. Among factors limiting production, supply difficulties prevailed. In July 2004, 31% of employees (30% of enterprises) faced these limits, which is 14 percentage points more than in July 2003 and 10 percentage points above last year’s average. Sledili so omejitveni dejavniki iz skupine hude omejitve. V tem mesecu se je z njimi srečevalo 28 % zaposlenih (oziroma 30 % podjetij), kar za 1 odstotno točko manj kot isti mesec lani in 2 odstotni točki pod lanskim povprečjem. The second most important limits were severe obstacles. In July 2004, 28% of employees (30% of enterprises) faced these limits, which is 1 percentage point less than in July 2003 and 2 percentage points below last year’s average. Z dejavniki iz skupine šibko povpraševanje se je v tem mesecu srečalo 23 % zaposlenih (oziroma 27 % podjetij) v predelovalnih dejavnostih. Glede na isti mesec lani je bil odstotek nižji za 8 odstotnih točk in za 6 odstotnih točk pod lanskim povprečjem. The third most important limits were demand difficulties. In July 2004, 23% of employees (27% of enterprises) faced these limits, which is 8 percentage points less than in July 2003 and 6 percentage points below last year’s average. 18 % zaposlenih (oziroma 13 % podjetij) v tem mesecu ni imelo omejitev v proizvodnji. Glede na isti mesec lani je bil odstotek nižji za 5 odstotnih točk in 3 odstotne točke pod lanskim povprečjem. In July 2004, 18% of employees (13% of enterprises) faced no limits, which is 5 percentage points less than in July 2003 and 3 percentage points below last year’s average. Podrobnejši pregled omejitvenih dejavnikov v proizvodnji pokaže, da je/so julija1 : A more detailed overview of limits to production shows that in July 1: 1 Podjetja lahko označijo več dejavnikov, ki omejujejo njihovo proizvodnjo, zato vsota odstotkov ni 100. 1 Enterprises can select several factors limiting their business, so the total is not 100%.

Največja omejitev v proizvodnji ostaja nezadostno domače povpraševanje, sledijo nezadostno tuje povpraševanje in pomanjkanje usposobljenih delavcev ter konkurenčni uvoz. Med omejitvenimi dejavniki v tem mesecu najbolj izstopajo pomanjkanje surovin in finančni problemi, s katerima se je srečevalo za 8 oziroma 9 odstotnih točk več podjetij kot aprila. The most important factor limiting production is still insufficient domestic demand, followed by insufficient foreign demand, shortage of skilled labour and competitive imports. Limits to production that gained importance in July 2004 are shortage of raw materials and financial problems. Compared to April 2004, the number of enterprises that selected these limits rose by 8 and 9 percentage points respectively. Le 18 % podjetij ni imelo omejitev v proizvodnji. Only 18% of enterprises experienced no limits to production.
