Investments

For the text in Dutch, see Investeringen.

With the help of your participation in the investment statistics, Statistics Netherlands (CBS) publishes the investment figures of the business community every year. These figures are used to calculate the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and provide insight into the state of the Dutch economy. Your investment figures are essential for policymakers and industry associations. The statistics agency Eurostat also uses your investment figures, which allows countries and regions to be compared with each other.
