Confidence in Dutch Economy Falls to Lowest Point in 11 Years

Confidence in the state of the Dutch economy has fallen to its lowest point in 11 years, according to a new survey. Households have become more pessimistic about economic conditions, while uncertainty over energy costs, inflation, global tensions, and employment weighs on sentiment. The decline is also affecting willingness to make major purchases, suggesting consumers may remain cautious in the coming months. Economists warn that weaker confidence could restrain household spending and slow growth, despite resilience in employment so far
