Description

We have lowered our GDP growth forecast for the Netherlands to 1.3% for 2025 and to 0.7% for 2026 due to net exports being weaker than anticipated. Trade uncertainty will make businesses reluctant to invest. Not only will tariffs lower the Netherlands' direct exports to the US by making them more expensive, they will also affect demand for Dutch-produced inputs into other countries' US-bound exports. We expect inflation will average 3.1% in 2025 and 2.0% in 2026, with the tariff-related hit to demand and energy prices helping the disinflationary process.
