Dutch economic growth set to slow as trade tariffs bite

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) -Economic growth in the Netherlands will be lower than previously expected through 2026 as tariffs imposed by the United States hit international trade, Dutch government policy adviser CPB said on Thursday.

The Dutch economy is expected to grow by 1.3% in 2026, following an expansion of 1.7% this year, the CPB said.

It had previously given guidance of 1.9% growth in 2025 and 1.5% in 2026.
