POSLOVNE TENDENCE V TRGOVINI NA DROBNO, SLOVENIJA, DECEMBER 2005 
BUSINESS TENDENCY IN RETAIL TRADE, SLOVENIA, DECEMBER 2005 
   
 Desezonirana vrednost kazalnika zaupanja v trgovini na drobno je 
bila za 2 odstotni točki nižja od preteklega meseca. V primerjavi z 
lanskim decembrom in tudi lanskim povprečjem pa je vrednost 
zrasla za 3 oz. 5 odstotnih točk. 
 The seasonally adjusted retail trade confidence indicator 
decreased by 2 percentage points in comparison with the previous 
month. Compared to December 2004 and last year's average it 
was up by 3 and 5 percentage points. 
 Na gibanje vrednosti kazalnika zaupanja sta vplivali predvsem 
ocena poslovnega položaja in ocena pričakovanega poslovnega 
položaja. 
 This development of the indicator was mainly influenced by the 
assessment of the present and expected business situation.  
 Kazalniki stanj so se v primerjavi s preteklim mesecem večinoma 
izboljšali (razen kazalnika obsega zalog in kazalnika prodajnih 
cen). Kazalniki pričakovanj so se poslabšali, izjema je kazalnik 
pričakovanega zaposlovanja. 
 The observed indicators for appreciation of the situation mainly 
increased compared to the previous month (except the volume of 
stocks and appreciation of selling prices). The expectations for the 
next three months deteriorated, except for expected employment.

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 kazalnikov ter ocenitev njihovega gibanja v
naslednjih mesecih. Rezultati anket so osnova za izračun kazalnika
zaupanja v trgovini na drobno in kazalnika gospodarske klime, ki
vključuje poleg kazalnika zaupanja v trgovini na drobno tudi kazalnik
zaupanja pri potrošnikih in kazalnik 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 (2002)
razvrščena v trgovino na drobno, in sicer v naslednja oddelka: 
 We are monitoring units that are registered in the Standard Classification
of Activities (SKD, 2002) in retail trade or sale of motor vehicles in the
following divisions: 
− 50 - Prodaja, vzdrževanje in popravila motornih vozil, trgovina na
drobno z motornimi gorivi, 
 − 50 - Sale, maintenance and repair of motor vehicles, retail sale of
motor fuel 
− 52 - Trgovina na drobno, razen z motornimi vozili, popravila izdelkov
široke porabe. 
 − 52 - Retail trade, except of motor vehicles, repair of personal and
household goods 
Vzorec podjetij je oblikovan na podlagi dveh meril:  They were selected into the panel by two criteria: 
− razvrstitve trgovskega podjetja po SKD-ju in  − the classification of the enterprise according to the Standard
Classification of Activities (SKD) and 
− velikosti trgovskega podjetja (prihodek, skladno z zakonom o
gospodarskih družbah). 
 − the size of the enterprises (turnover in accordance with the
Companies Act). 
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
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
kazalnikov (stanj in pričakovanj), ne pa dejanskih velikosti ekonomskih
kazalnikov. 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.

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. 
Kazalnik 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).
