Economic Update Dutch version
In recent weeks, the Netherlands has been greatly occupied by the predictions of Klaas Knot. Has the economy grown or contracted in the third quarter? Based on the data currently available, no clear conclusion can be drawn.
Economic Update Dutch version
The Dutch economy is showing signs of stabilisation in some segments. We expect the recession to end in the second half of this year. But a robust economic recovery is not in the cards yet.
Economic Update Dutch version
While the euro area as a whole moved out of recession, the Dutch economy contracted by 0.2% in Q2. The decline in output was smaller than in the previous quarters.
Economic Update Dutch version
The size of the Dutch economy is likely to have contracted again in 13Q2. The contribution of international trade to GDP volume is probably low or even negative.
Economic Update Dutch version
The recession probably continued into 13Q2. Domestic demand is set to decline further. A rather worrying development has been the continued decline in the export volume. Unemployment has continued to rise, albeit at a more modest pace.
Dutch Housing Market Quarterly
The bottom of the Dutch owner-occupied housing market is in sight. The fall in house sales has virtually come to a halt and price declines have also slowed. We expect this development to continue and that house prices may stabilise as well in 2014.
Economic Update
The Dutch economy still finds itself in recession. In the first quarter, GDP volume contracted by 0.1% on a quarterly basis. Sentiment indicators do not yet point at a speedy recovery.
Economic Update
Export growth cannot counterbalance the depressed domestic demand. The unseasonably long and cold winter, however, has increased production and consumption of natural gas.
