POSLOVNE TENDENCE V TRGOVINI NA DROBNO, SLOVENIJA, MAJ 2005 
BUSINESS TENDENCY IN RETAIL TRADE, SLOVENIA, MAY 2005 
   
 V maju 2005 je desezonirana vrednost kazalca zaupanja v trgovini na 
drobno ostala enaka, kot je bila v preteklem mesecu. Vrednost 
kazalca se je dvignila v primerjavi z lanskim majem in v primerjavi z 
lanskim povprečjem, in sicer za 1 odstotno točko oziroma 2 odstotni 
točki. 
 In May 2005 the seasonally adjusted retail trade confidence indicator 
remained the same as it was in the previous month. The indicator 
went up compared to May 2004 as well as to last year's average, i.e. 
by 1 percentage point and 2 percentage points, respectively. 
 Na gibanje vrednosti kazalca zaupanja sta vplivali slabši oceni 
sedanjega in pričakovanega poslovnega položaja in tudi ocena o 
zmanjšanem obsegu zalog. 
 This development of the confidence indicator was influenced by the 
worsening in the assessment of the present and expected business 
situation as well as by the assessment of decreased volume of stocks. 
 
 Večina kazalcev stanj se je poslabšala. Le kazalec konkurenčnost 
se je izboljšal, medtem ko je kazalec prodajne cene ostal 
nespremenjen. Tudi večina kazalcev pričakovanj se je poslabšala. 
Izjema sta bila kazalca pričakovana skupna nabava, ki se je 
izboljšal, in pričakovano povpraševanje, ki je ostal enak. 
 Situation indicators mostly worsened. Only the indicator of the 
competition improved while the selling prices indicator remained 
unchanged. The expectation indicators mostly worsened also. 
Exceptions were indicators of the expected orders, which 
improved, and expected demand, which stayed the same.

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. 
 Tthe 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 trgovine 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. 156/2005 
6 Rapid Reports No 156/2005 
 
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 maju 2005 je desezonirana vrednost kazalca zaupanja
v trgovini na drobno ostala enaka, kot je bila v
preteklem mesecu. Na gibanje vrednosti kazalca
zaupanja sta vplivali slabši oceni sedanjega in 
pričakovanega poslovnega položaja in tudi ocena o
zmanjšanem obsegu zalog. Vrednost kazalca se je
dvignila v primerjavi z lanskim majem in v primerjavi z
lanskim povprečjem, in sicer za 1 odstotno točko
oziroma 2 odstotni točki. 
 In May 2005 the seasonally adjusted retail trade
confidence indicator remained the same as it was in the
previous month. This development of the confidence
indicator was influenced by the worsening in the
assessment of the present and expected business
situation as well as by the assessment of decreased
volume of stocks. The indicator went up compared to
May 2004 as well as to last year's average, i.e. by 1
percentage point and 2 percentage points, respectively. 
   
OCENA STANJ  APPRECIATION OF SITUATION 
POSLOVNI POLOŽAJ  BUSINESS SITUATION 
V maju 2005 je bil zabeželen padec kazalca poslovni položaj v vseh treh
primerjavah. V primerjavi s preteklim mesecem je padel za 3 odstotne
točke, v primerjavi z istim mesecem lanskega leta za 9 odstotnih točk in v
primerjavi z lanskim povprečjem za 6 odstotnih točk. 
 In May 2005 the overall fall of the business situation indicator was
recorded. Compared to the previous month it fell by 3 percentage points,
compared to May 2004 by 9 percentage points and compared to last
year’s average by 6 percentage points. 
PRODAJNE CENE  SELLING PRICES 
Vrednost kazalca prodajne cene je v mesečni primerjavi ostala
nespremenjena. Padec vrednosti kazalca za 3 odstotne točke je bil
zabeležen  v primerjavi z istim mesecem lanskega leta, medtem ko se je
le-ta v primerjavi z lanskim povprečjem dvignila za 4 odstotne točke. 
 In a month-to-month comparison the indicator of the selling prices
remained unchanged. A fall of the indicator by 3 percentage points was
recorded in comparison with May 2004, while it went up in comparison
with last year’s average by 4 percentage points. 
FINANČNI POLOŽAJ  FINANCIAL SITUATION 
Desezonirana vrednost kazalca finančni položaj se je v primerjavi s
preteklim mesecem malo znižala (za 1 odstotno točko). V primerjavi z
majem 2004 se je vrednost dvignila za 1 odstotno točko in za 1 odstotno
točko padla v primerjavi z lanskoletnim povprečjem.
