Kingdom of the Netherlands–The Netherlands: 2024 Article IV Consultation-Press Release; and Staff Report, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 2024) accessed September 26, 2024

Summary

The economy has cooled, but signs of overheating remain. After two years of strong recovery, growth decelerated in 2023, reflecting the energy shock, tighter financial conditions, and a slowdown in key trading partners, particularly Germany. Still, core inflation remains elevated, reflecting a tight labor market, robust wage growth, and healthy profit margins. Fragmented results in November elections are leading to a prolonged government formation, with possible implications for pro-growth and climate policies.
