Dutch industrial growth is at its lowest for seven months, according to figures released on Tuesday by the Dutch purchasing managers Nevi index.

The Nevi index was at 53.7 in March compared with 55.2 in February, its lowest since September 2013.

It is, however, still above 50 points, the cut-off point for industrial growth.

Growth in orders was particularly bad low; the worst since August 2013.
The best performance was in capital goods, followed by consumer goods and intermediate goods.

Sale prices rose slightly in March for the first time in three months.
