Dutch economy to grow slightly this year despite recession: ABN Amro

NL Times  

ABN Amro expects the Dutch economy to grow slightly by 0.5 percent this year. Rising interest rates due to central bank interest rate increases also have a slowing effect because, for example, it makes borrowing more expensive. In addition, the European Central Bank’s target for inflation of 2 percent remains out of sight, according to ABN Amro. ABN Amro also pointed out various risks, especially if inflation remains persistent and the central banks have to continue raising interest rates.
