Exports Radar: circumstances more unfavourable

Circumstances for Dutch exports in June 2024 were more unfavourable than in the previous month. Since the publication of the previous Exports Radar, new data have become available for all indicators. Three indicators improved, two deteriorated and one remained the same. Circumstances relevant to Dutch exports are largely determined by developments in the main market for Dutch exports - Germany and the eurozone - and developments in Dutch competitiveness. Although the Radar indicators show a strong correlation with export activity, improved circumstances are not necessarily translated into increased export growth.

Opinions of Dutch manufacturers about their foreign orders were more negative. The development of the real effective exchange rate was more unfavourable. On the other hand, producer confidence in Germany and in the Euro area improved. The year-on-year contraction of German manufacturing output was smaller. Opinions of European manufacturers about their foreign orders remained equally negative.
