POSLOVNE TENDENCE V PREDELOVALNIH DEJAVNOSTIH, SLOVENIJA, JANUAR 2006 
BUSINESS TENDENCY IN MANUFACTURING, SLOVENIA, JANUARY 2006 
   
 Januarja 2006 so direktorji tendence v predelovalnih dejavnostih 
ocenili boljše kot pretekli mesec. Desezonirana vrednost kazalnika 
zaupanja je bila v primerjavi s preteklim mesecem višja za 1 
odstotno točko, v primerjavi z istim mesecem lani je bila višja za 7 
odstotnih točk in 3 odstotne točke nad lanskim povprečjem. 
 In January 2006, managers estimated business tendencies in 
manufacturing as being better than in the previous month. The 
seasonally adjusted value of the confidence indicator rose by 1 
percentage point compared to December 2005, by 7 percentage 
points compared to January 2005 and by 3 percentage points 
compared to last year’s average. 
 Na zvišanje kazalnika zaupanja v predelovalnih dejavnostih so 
vplivala ugodna proizvodna pričakovanja. 
 The improvement of the confidence indicator was influenced by 
the rise of production expectations.  
 Kazalniki stanj so se v primerjavi s preteklim mesecem 
malenkostno poslabšali, pričakovanja za naslednje tri mesece so 
večinoma ugodna. 
 Observed indicators for appreciation of the situation slightly 
worsened in comparison to the previous month. The expectations 
for the next three months are mostly favourable.

Graf o omejitvah v proizvodnji prikazuje delež zaposlenih, ki se soočajo z naslednjimi skupinami problemov: 
- Skupina "šibko povpraševanje" zajema zaposlene, ki imajo probleme z nezadostnim domačim povpraševanjem, nezadostnim tujim povpraševanjem in/ali 
konkurenčnim uvozom. 
- Skupina "ni omejitev" zajema zaposlene, ki nimajo nobenih proizvodnih težav. 
- Skupina "težave s preskrbo" zajema zaposlene, ki imajo probleme s pomanjkanjem delavcev, surovin, izdelkov, opreme in/ali finančne probleme. Ta skupina 
zajema še zaposlene, ki jih pri proizvodnji omejujeta tudi nejasna zakonodaja in negotove gospodarske razmere. 
- Skupina "hude omejitve" zajema zaposlene, ki imajo hkrati težave tako z dejavniki iz skupine "šibko povpraševanje" kot tudi z dejavniki iz skupine "težave s 
preskrbo". 
 
The chart on production obstacles shows the share of employees who are facing the following groups of problems: 
- Group "weakness in demand" includes employees who are facing insufficient domestic and foreign demand and competitive imports. 
- Group "no limits" includes employees with no limits to production. 
- Group "supply difficulties" includes employees who are facing shortage of labour in general, shortage of raw materials and semi-finished products, lack of 
appropriate equipment, problems with unpaid bills, financial problems and unclear economic conditions. 
- Group "severe obstacles" includes employees who are facing at the same time problems from the group "weakness in demand" and those from the group "supply 
difficulties".

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 
kazalnikov ter ocenitev njihovega gibanja v naslednjih mesecih. Rezultati 
anket so osnova za izračun kazalnika zaupanja v predelovalnih 
dejavnostih in kazalnika gospodarske klime, ki vključuje poleg kazalnika 
zaupanja v predelovalnih dejavnostih tudi kazalnik zaupanja pri 
potrošnikih in kazalnik 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 okoli 25. v istem mesecu. 
Respondents are managers of enterprises or other executives. They respond
between the 1st and the 10th in the month. Results are published
approximately on the 25th day of the current month. 
ZAJETJE COVERAGE 
V panelni vzorec smo zajeli vsa velika podjetja, 59 % srednjevelikih (ali 
64 % zaposlenih) in 18 % malih podjetij (ali 22 % zaposlenih). Panelni 
vzorec pokriva 39 % podjetij vzorčnega okvira ali 76 % zaposlenih v 
predelovalnih dejavnostih. 
The panel includes all large enterprises, 59% of medium-sized enterprises (or
64% of employees) and 18% of small enterprises (or 22% of employees); the
panel covers 39% of the enterprises of the studied population or 76% 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; we include seven additional
questions to the monthly survey each quarter (January, April, July and
October). 
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 the relative
importance of an individual enterprise in the panel. Inside divisions of the
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 giblje med 3 % in 15 % (povprečno 8 %). 
Non-responses are processed every month according to the harmonised
methodology and vary between 3% and 15% (8% 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 kazalnikov. 
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.
Ko so prikazane daljše časovne vrste podatkov ali primerjave kazalnikov 
z EU-jem, 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 
In the charts with longer time series or by comparisons with EU indicators,
data are seasonally adjusted. Values are adjusted for the seasonal
component, but include the trend-cycle component and the irregular
component. Data for EU are seasonally adjusted by the DAINTIES method

metodo TRAMO/SEATS, ki temelji na modelih ARIMA. Pri oblikovanju 
modelov je upoštevano časovno obdobje od maja 1995 do januarja 2006, 
pri časovnih vrstah pričakovan izvoz, pričakovano skupno povpraševanje 
in povprečno število mesecev zagotovljene proizvodnje od januarja 1997 
do januarja 2006, pri časovni vrsti stopnja izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti od 
drugega četrtletja 1995 do prvega četrtletja 2006, pri časovnih vrstah 
konkurenčni položaj podjetja na domačem trgu, konkurenčni položaj 
podjetja na trgih držav članic Evropske unije in konkurenčni položaj 
podjetja na trgih zunaj Evropske unije pa od prvega četrtletja 2001 do 
prvega četrtletja 2006. Zaradi narave podatkov se modeli za leto 2006 
razlikujejo v primerjavi z modeli za leto 2005. Pri časovni vrsti ustreznost 
proizvodnih zmogljivosti sezonska komponenta ni prisotna. 
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 May
1995 to January 2006, the series expected export order-books, expected total
demand and average assured production from January 1997 to January 2006,
the series level of capacity utilisation from the second quarter of 1995 to the
first quarter of 2006, and the series competitive position on the domestic
market, competitive position on the foreign markets inside the EU and
competitive position on the markets outside the EU from the first quarter of
2001 to the first quarter of 2006. Because of the nature of data, the models for
2006 differ from the models used in 2005. In the time series assessment of
current production capacities the seasonal component is not present. 
Kazalnik 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 an
inverted sign).
