Dutch Export Growth Eases Sharply In June

(RTTNews) - Dutch export growth slowed notably in June, after accelerating in the previous two months, figures from the Central Bureau of Statistics showed Friday.

The volume of exports rose 1.7 percent year-over-year in June, much slower than previous month's 4.3 percent gain. However, it was the thirteenth consecutive monthly climb.

The increase in June was mainly driven by the higher exports of transport equipment and petroleum products.

Imports grew at a stable pace of 3.7 percent in June from the previous year due to rising arrivals of oil and gas.
