PMI Holland – læs hele meddelelsen her:
Dutch manufacturers reported another month of solid output growth during September. However, the rate of expansion in new orders eased further from June’s recent peak. Consequently, the seasonally adjusted headline NEVI Purchasing Managers’ Index® (PMI® ) – a composite indicator designed to provide a single-figure snapshot of the performance of the manufacturing economy – dropped to a six-month low of 53.0, from 53.9 in August.
Production at manufacturers in the Netherlands rose for a twenty-ninth consecutive month in September. The rate of growth was solid and marginally sharper than in August. Although new orders continued to increase in September, the latest rise was the slowest in 13 months. Growth of new export orders also eased to the least marked for just over a year.
Weaker new order growth allowed Dutch manufacturers to focus resources on existing workloads. Consequently, backlogs declined for the second month running, and at the sharpest rate since April. Employment in the Dutch manufacturing sector increased further in September. The rate of growth in staffing levels remained little-changed from the moderate pace recorded in August.
