So if the taxpayer takes over the power and water firms they have to take over their debts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletguy Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Dutch economy recorded strong growth in second quarter despite inflation The Dutch economy grew by 2.6 percent in the second quarter compared to the three previous months. That is a much larger increase than in the first quarter of 2022 when the war in Ukraine and the gas crisis still caused a lot of uncertainty. Netherlands residents spent more on cafe visits, trips, and travel after most coronavirus restrictions disappeared. Companies invested more, and the Netherlands exported more than it imported, reported Statistics Netherlands (CBS). Compared to a year earlier, the Netherlands’ gross domestic product (GDP) rose by 5.3 percent. Strikingly, consumers mainly spent more on services. Companies invested more in buildings, aircraft, and ships in the second quarter. They also spent more money on software and machines. For exports, which grew by 5.6 percent annually, it was especially beneficial that foreigners spent more on transport or visits to the catering industry in the Netherlands.
