Fiscal Balance in Netherlands
Netherlands - Fiscal Balance
Economic growth was solid in the second quarter in defiance of the broader slowdown in the Eurozone, and despite heightened Brexit uncertainty and a gloomier global growth outlook. The expansion was powered by an acceleration in private consumption growth, on the back of a rock-solid labor market and rapid wage growth, while exports of goods and services growth also revved up, shrugging off global trade tensions. Fixed investment and government spending lost steam, however. Turning to the third quarter, the economy will likely slow on a tough base of comparison and soft external momentum, although fundamentals are still robust nonetheless. In July, annual hourly earnings growth reached a multi-year high and the unemployment rate hovered near one-decade lows, which should be underpinning private consumption. However, the manufacturing PMI was only just in positive territory in the same month, weighed on by lower new domestic and foreign orders.Netherlands - Fiscal Balance Data
