Trade Balance in Netherlands

Netherlands - Trade Balance (Euros)
The economy likely emerged from recession in Q3, although conditions remained fragile. Retail trade turnover plunged in August, while consumer and business confidence levels remained entrenched in pessimistic territory, which will have capped both household and capital expenditure. Nevertheless, manufacturing operating conditions improved in the quarter. Turning to Q4, further storm clouds gathered on the horizon in recent weeks, with a surge in new Covid-19 cases leading to renewed containment measures. The new restrictions announced in mid-October have seen cafes, bars and restaurants close their doors for four weeks, while travel has been severely restricted and social gatherings limited once again. These measures will derail recently regained momentum in the final quarter of a bleak year for the economy.Netherlands - Trade Balance (EUR) Data
