Pays-Bas Croissance Du Pib

The Netherlands' economy expanded by 0.4% quarter-on-quarter in the three months to December 2024, in line with preliminary estimates and following a 0.8% increase in Q3. Growth was driven by an acceleration in fixed investment (2.8% vs. 0.3% in Q3), supported by higher investments from businesses and households, as well as a sharp rebound in government investments. Net trade also contributed positively to GDP, as exports rose 0.5% (vs. 0.4%), while imports fell 0.3% (vs. -0.7%). Meanwhile, government spending (0.9%, unchanged from Q3) and household consumption (1% vs. 0.6%) continued to grow. On a yearly basis, the Dutch economy expanded by 1.9%, the fastest growth since Q1 2023. For the full year, the GDP grew by 1%, broadly up from a 0.1% rise in the previous year, with government consumption being the largest contributor to growth.
