The NEVI Netherlands Manufacturing PMI fell to 49.6 in November of 2019 from 50.3 in the previous month, pointing to the first contraction in the manufacturing sector since June of 2013. Order book volumes declined at the fastest pace since April 2013, amid unfavourable demand conditions and continued uncertainty; output reduced and employment growth slowed to the softest pace since early-2015. Meanwhile, both input costs and output charges fell at the fastest rates for over three years. Nonetheless, manufacturers remained optimistic that output will expand over the coming 12 months, with sentiment strengthening from October although expectations remain subdued in the context of historical data.

Production declined for the first time since April 2013 and rate of job creation eased to the slowest in seven months.; buying activity declined at the fastest rate in over six years and Stocks of finished goods declined for the second successive month. Also, new orders growth eased to a three-month low while new export orders increased following September's decline. On the price front, input costs fell for the first time in over three years and at the steepest pace since April 2016, as lower demand influenced raw material costs; while output costs continued to rise. Finally, manufacturers' output expectations softened to the second-lowest since August 2013.

The NEVI Netherlands Manufacturing PMI came in at 51.6 in September 2019, unchanged from the previous month, signalling only a modest improvement in operating conditions. New orders and output rose at a slower pace, as export orders fell for the second time in three months, reflecting weak foreign demand. Meanwhile, the rate of job creation was the fastest in eight months. On the price front, inflationary pressures weakened, with input prices rising only marginally, while the rate of output price inflation was markedly below the long-run series' average. Looking ahead, business sentiment was the highest in eight months.

The NEVI Netherlands Manufacturing PMI increased to 51.6 in August 2019 from 50.7 in the previous month.

On the price front, inflationary pressures remained weak as input costs rose at the second-slowest rate in three years and the rate of charge inflation was marginal overall and below the series average.

The reading pointed to the weakest pace of expansion in factory activity in six years, mainly due to a fall in new orders.
