POSLOVNE TENDENCE V TRGOVINI NA DROBNO, SLOVENIJA, AVGUST 2005 
BUSINESS TENDENCY IN RETAIL TRADE, SLOVENIA, AUGUST 2005 
   

 V avgustu 2005 je bila desezonirana vrednost kazalca zaupanja v 
trgovini na drobno za 1 odstotno točko nižja kot prejšnji mesec, 
hkrati pa za 4 odstotne točke višja kot v lanskem avgustu in za 
prav toliko višja od lanskega povprečja. 

 In August 2005 the seasonally adjusted retail trade confidence 
indicator slightly fell in comparison with the previous month, i.e. by 
1 percentage point. Compared to August 2004 as well as 
compared to last year's average it rose by 4 percentage points. 

 Na gibanje vrednosti kazalca zaupanja so vplivale slabša ocena 
sedanjega poslovnega položaja, boljša ocena pričakovanega 
poslovnega položaja in tudi ocena o večjem obsegu zalog. 

 This development of the indicator was due to worsening in the 
assessment of the present business situation, improvement in the 
assessment of the expected business situation as well as the 
assessment of increased volume of stocks. 
 

 Večina kazalcev stanj se je zmanjšala, le kazalca obseg zalog in 
prodajne cene sta se povečala. Večina kazalcev pričakovanj pa 
se je izboljšala; poslabšala sta se kazalca pričakovana skupna 
nabava in pričakovano zaposlovanje. 

 Most situation indicators worsened, except the indicators of the 
volume of stocks and selling prices, which improved. On the other 
hand, the expectation indicators mostly improved. Exceptions 
were indicators of the expected orders and expected employment, 
which worsened.

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. 
 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
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 (SKD) 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
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. 244/2005

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).
