Latest Updates

The Dutch economy grew by 1.5% year-on-year in Q2 2025, the slowest pace in a year and down from 2.2% in Q1. Growth was mainly driven by higher government spending, household consumption, and investment. Government consumption rose 2.8%, household spending increased 1.0%, and investments climbed 2.5%. Exports grew 2.2%, but imports rose more sharply at 3.7%, meaning trade weighed on overall growth. By sector, industry, public services like government and healthcare, and trade-related sectors such as hospitality, transport, and storage contributed the most to the yearly expansion.
