The Netherlands is the sixth-largest economy in the Euro Zone and important transportation hub in Europe. The Dutch economy depends heavily on foreign trade, with exports accounting for 83 percent of GDP and imports for 72 percent. Household consumption is the main component of GDP (45 percent) followed by government expenditure (26 percent), gross fixed capital formation (18 percent) and net trade (11 percent).

Latest Updates

The Dutch economy expanded by 1.7% year-on-year in Q2 2025, easing from 2.2% growth in Q1 and marking the slowest annual expansion in a year, though revised up from preliminary estimates of 1.5%. The main drag on growth was slowing government spending (2.1% vs 2.8% in Q1) and a negative contribution from net external demand, as imports advanced 2.7%—faster than the 1.5% rise in exports. Meanwhile, growth picked up for household consumption (1.9% vs 2.1%) and fixed investments (2.8% vs 1.4%). On a quarter-on-quarter basis, GDP grew by 0.2%, slowing from 0.3% in Q1 and marking the softest quarterly growth since Q1 2024, though revised up from initial estimates of 0.1%.
