Investment climate more unfavourable in November
Every month, CBS publishes updates on the investment climate in the CBS Investment Radar. Relevant conditions for the investment climate include, for example, the situation on the sales and financial markets. Although radar indicators show a strong correlation with fixed investment, improved conditions do not necessarily translate into an increased growth rate or a smaller investment contraction.
According to the CBS Investment Radar, the investment climate in the Netherlands in November is more unfavourable than it was in September. This is mainly because the year-on-year contraction in goods exports was larger. The industrial capacity utilization rate fell as well, and manufacturers were less positive about their order positions.
