Investment climate more unfavourable in December
Every month, CBS publishes updates on the investment climate in the CBS Investment Radar. Relevant conditions for the investment climate include, for example, the situation on the sales and financial markets. Although radar indicators show a strong correlation with fixed investment, improved conditions do not necessarily translate into an increased growth rate or a smaller investment contraction.
According to the CBS Investment Radar, the investment climate in the Netherlands in December is more unfavourable than it was in October. This is mainly because the year-on-year contraction in goods exports was larger. The year-on-year rise in share prices was less substantial and the industrial capacity utilization rate fell as well. However, consumer confidence was less negative.
