Economic Update Dutch version
We expect that the coronavirus will push Italy’s economy into a recession this quarter. In the course of the second half of this year there will be room for a small recovery. All in all we forecast the economy to shrink by more than 0.5% this year.
Economic Update Dutch version
We expect the Dutch economy to grow by 1.2 percent in 2020. Exports and investments are hurt by, among others, weaker global growth. Domestically, the nitrogen problems negatively affect investments. Consumers remain an important driver of growth.
Economic Update
The Netherlands was again amongst the quickest growing countries of the Eurozone in the third quarter, mainly due to increased consumption. However, slowing world trade and domestic issues with nitrogen and PFAS will drag down future growth.
Economic Update Dutch version
The Dutch economy is slowing down. Consumption is still on track, but the persisting industrial weakness and the growth slowdown in Dutch imports and exports point toward an economic slowdown.
Economic Update Dutch version
The Dutch economy continues to grow, but global weakness remains visible in manufacturing. The government announced substantial tax cuts and additional spending. However, labor market shortages may threaten the execution of the planned expenditures.
Economic Update
Fresh Spanish elections are unlikely to provide a quick way out of the political limbo. Meanwhile, Spain’s economy is slowing, but is nowhere near the danger zone.
Economic Update Dutch version
Despite the economy growing, the Netherlands aren’t immune to foreign weakness: the industry has been shrinking for months. A possible expansion of government spending might therefore be a well-timed impulse, provided it is indeed able to spend more.
Economic Update
Brexit will get messier under Boris Johnson’s leadership and the British economy is already suffering from the Brexit uncertainty. The economic outlook for 2019 is modest and shadowed by the prospect of a hard Brexit on 31 October.
Economic Update Dutch version
The Dutch economy is still growing but with mixed signals. Employment and consumption increased, but the manufacturing sector is showing weakness and the number of bankruptcies is slightly up.
