A survey of 400 firms is used to calculate the NEVI Netherlands Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index, which provides insight into the performance of the manufacturing industry in the Netherlands. All five indicators were evaluated based on the characteristics: New Orders (30%), Production (25%), Workforce (20%), Provider Delivery Times (15%), and Inventory of Items Purchased (10%), and Stock of Items Purchased (10%), with the Delivery Times index reversed so that it moves in the same direction as the other four indexes. A value above 50 implies that the manufacturing sector has expanded in comparison to the previous month; a rating below 50 implies that the manufacturing sector has contracted, and a reading of 50 implies that there has been no change.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the EUR while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the EUR.
