Confidence among manufacturers in the Netherlands worsened in June to the lowest level in one-and-a-half years, data from the Central Bureau of Statistics showed on Friday.
The producer sentiment index declined to -5.0 in June from -3.9 in the previous month. Moreover, the latest score is still well above the long-term average of -1.3.
Manufacturers were particularly less positive about expected activity in the coming three months and more negative about the order portfolio, the survey said.
