THE HAGUE, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) -- The Dutch economy is projected to grow by 1.4 percent in 2026 before slowing to 1.2 percent in 2027 amid considerable international uncertainty, the Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis (CPB) said Friday.
In its draft Macro Economic Outlook, the independent economic research institute said strong exports and increased government spending, particularly on defense, are expected to support economic growth. Financial buffers built up by households in recent years are also expected to help sustain consumption in the face of economic shocks.
