European Manufacturing Contraction Slows in July (Last Updated: August 1, 2003 04:23 EDT

Aug. 1 (Bloomberg) -- The contraction in the European manufacturing industry slowed in July for the first time in five months, a sign that faster growth in the U.S. and lower interest rates may lead to a recovery in the second half.

An index based on a survey of about 3,000 manufacturing companies in the euro region produced for Reuters Group Plc by NTC Research in Henley-on-Thames, England rose to 48 from 46.4 in June. That was better than the 47 predicted by 28 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. A figure below 50 indicates a contraction.

``The worst is behind us,'' said Martin Spat, director of the European Semiconductor Industry Association, whose members include STMicroelectronics NV and Infineon Technologies AG, Europe's two biggest semiconductor makers. ``We hope we're slowly coming out of a slump.''

Interest rates at half-century lows and signs of a recovery in the U.S. are boosting business confidence in Germany and France, the euro region's two biggest economies. The U.S., which buys about a fifth of Europe's exports, expanded at an annualized 2.4 percent in the second quarter, the fastest pace since the third quarter of last year.

French manufacturers became more optimistic in July, the first improvement this year, and German business confidence rose to a one-year high in the month. Confidence is growing on signs that consumer spending is starting to pick up.

German Sales

The slower pace in the contraction of European manufacturing was due to an improvement in production and orders, which both declined more slowly than the previous month, NTC said.

German retail sales in June rose 1.9 percent, the second gain in three months, the Federal Statistics Office said today. Consumer confidence and spending is being lifted by borrowing costs at a 127-year low, slowing inflation and the prospect of 21 billion euros ($23.6 billion) in tax cuts.

The yield on Germany's 3 3/4 percent bond maturing in 2013 rose 2 basis points to 4.203. A basis point is 0.01 percentage points.

Falling consumer confidence and a drop in manufacturing limited growth in the EU to 0.1 percent in the first quarter, and the European Commission says the region's $7.9 trillion economy may have stagnated in the second three months.
