In June 2025, the volume of investment in tangible fixed assets was up by 8.3 percent year on year, as reported by Statistics Netherlands (CBS). This was mainly due to more investment in ships, aircraft, machinery (including defence equipment) and infra structure.

These figures on investment have not been adjusted for calendar effects. June 2025 had the same amount of working days as June 2024. According to the CBS Investment Radar for July, conditions for investment in the Netherlands were equally unfavourable as they were in June

Investment climate equally unfavourable in July

Every month, CBS publishes an update on the investment climate in the CBS Investment Radar. Factors that are relevant to the investment climate include the situation in sales markets and the financial markets. Although the radar indicators correlate fairly well with fixed investment, improved conditions do not necessarily result in higher growth or a smaller contraction in investment.

According to the CBS Investment Radar for July, the investment climate in the Netherlands was unchanged (equally unfavourable) from June. For example, consumer confidence improved, but manufacturers were more negative about their order positions.
