Summary

• The European Commission’s economic sentiment indicator dropped to 93.6 in April, from 95.0 in March, and is down to the lowest level since December last year.
• The sentiment weakening is broadly spread across all major sectors, but not so equally across countries. Smaller countries like Ireland and Belgium but also the Netherlands saw a relatively significant drop in sentiment, while France and Germany have been holding up relatively well.
