Abstract

According to the data from the "Spring" Report of the European Commission, for The Netherlands the year 2013 noted the continuation phase of the 2012 economic recession as a result of the reduction in the growth pace of the private consumption and productive investments in particular. For the period 2014-2015, the Commission considers a recovery in the economic growth, mainly due to the recovery of investments, consequence of the internal and external growth. At the same time, it is estimated that the general government deficit will be reduced in 2015, taking into account the reduction in administrative costs and the increase of the revenues from taxes and fees. The experts from the European Commission estimated a new negative GDP rate for the year 2013, respectively of 0.8%, after the one in 2012 (-1.2%), pointing out that the economy is still in recession. This situation reflects the particularly low economic activity in the first quarter of 2013. However, economic growth has become positive in the second and the third quarters, and has strengthened in the fourth, being "assisted" by external factors. The weak domestic demand continued to be a barrier to investment, which also declined in 2013 (-4.8%), after the 4.0% reduction in 2012. According to the recent Report of the European Commission, the Dutch economy will come out of recession in 2014, the GDP growth this year being estimated at 1.2%, which indicates that the relaunch of the productive activity will be modest. Owing to the positive developments in the second half of 2013, it is expected that the domestic demand becomes the main engine of growth in 2014, supported mainly by the productive investments.
