Dutch Manufacturing PMI Highest Since 2022

The Nevi Netherlands Manufacturing PMI rose to 54.4 in April 2026 from 52.0 in March, marking the highest since July 2022 and the eleventh month of expansion. New orders rose at the fastest pace in nearly two years as customers front-loaded purchases amid Middle East war-related supply disruptions. Export demand also improved modestly, with overseas orders rising at a nine-month high. Output expanded at the quickest pace in seven months as firms ramped up production, while employment declined for a second month as companies refrained from replacing departing staff. Supply chains deteriorated markedly, with delivery times lengthening at the fastest pace in nearly four years, prompting stronger purchasing activity and inventory building. Input cost inflation rose to a near four-year high, while output prices increased at the fastest pace in three-and-a-half years. Business confidence improved slightly but remained below the long-run average amid persistent inflation and supply concerns.
