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 Netherlands’ GDP grew by 0.2% quarter-on-quarter in Q2 2025, slowing from 0.3% in Q1 and marking the softest growth since Q1 2024, though revised up from initial estimates of 0.1%. The modest increase was driven by a rebound in fixed investments (1.8% vs -2.1% in Q1), supported by a sharp rise in government investments, which surged 10.2%. Government spending also grew slightly faster, up 0.5% compared with 0.4% previously. Meanwhile, household consumption edged up 0.1%, down from 0.4% in the previous quarter, due to lower outlays on hospitality, clothing, and leisure. Net external demand also weighed on growth, as imports rose 1.8%, driven by higher goods purchases (3.7%), while exports increased only 0.3%, with a decline in services (-0.7%) partly offsetting the rise in goods exports (0.7%). On a yearly basis, the Dutch economy expanded 1.7%, above the preliminary estimate of 1.5%, but still the slowest annual growth in a year.
