Dutch Q2 Annual Growth Falls to 1-Year Low

The Dutch economy grew by 1.5% year-on-year in Q2 2025, the slowest pace in a year and down from 2.2% in Q1.

Growth was mainly driven by higher government spending, household consumption, and investment.

Government consumption rose 2.8%, household spending increased 1.0%, and investments climbed 2.5%.

Exports grew 2.2%, but imports rose more sharply at 3.7%, meaning trade weighed on overall growth.

By sector, industry, public services like government and healthcare, and trade-related sectors such as hospitality, transport, and storage contributed the most to the yearly expansion.
