Economic Comment Dutch version
The Dutch economy grew by 1.5 percent in Q2 and outpaced the solid growth in other Eurozone economies. Labour market figures in Q2 were also strong. Domestic and foreign demand can continue to drive a cyclical recovery.
Economic Update Dutch version
The Dutch economy is firing on all cylinders. Consumption and exports are performing well. Real wage growth is lagging behind.
Economic Comment
It has been over four months since the Dutch parliamentary elections and no government has been formed yet. At the same time, it appears that negotiators are making progress.
Economic Comment
The Greens have left coalition discussions. Christian Union will now probably join negotiations. A stable majority coalition is viable. New elections are unlikely.
Economic Report
It has been almost ninety days since elections in the Netherlands, yet the country is still without a new government. Why is it taking so long? Will Wilders get a chance to govern? Are new elections possible?
Dutch Housing Market Quarterly Dutch version
On the Dutch housing market, more transactions than ever in the first quarter: 55,911 homes changed owners. Prices rose by 6.8% in the first quarter compared to the first quarter last year. We expect a price increase of at least 6.5% for 2017.
