Euro Area Industrial Sentiment

The Industrial Sentiment Indicator in the Euro Area declined by 3 points from the previous month to -8.8 in September 2019, the lowest level since July 2013 and below market forecasts of -6.0. The sharp decline was due to managers' markedly more pessimistic views on all three components, i.e. production expectations, the current level of overall order books and the stocks of finished products. Managers' assessments of the past production and export order books – which are not included in the confidence indicator – deteriorated very significantly, too. German industry morale fell to -15.6 from -11.2 in August, the lowest point since October 2012. Industrial Sentiment in the Euro Area averaged -5.14 from 1985 until 2019, reaching an all time high of 10.20 in January of 2018 and a record low of -37.70 in March of 2009.
