Eurozone Industry Confidence Slumps to 11-Year Low
The industry confidence indicator in the Euro Area fell by 19.2 points from the previous month to -30.4 in April 2020, the lowest level since March 2009, as the Covid-19 outbreak hurt the economy. It was also the sharpest monthly decline in industrial sentiment ever, amid managers’ crashing production expectations. Also their appraisals of the current level of overall order books tumbled. Managers’ net assessment of the stocks of finished products increased only moderately, the effect of lower demand being likely mitigated by managers reporting lower stocks due to supply chain interruptions. Also the assessments of export order books and the level of past production, which do not enter the calculation of the confidence indicator, plunged.
