Business confidence in the Netherlands fell back into negative territory in February, signaling a more cautious outlook among Dutch firms. The indicator declined to -1.1 in February 2026, down from 0.8 previously, according to the latest data updated on 10 March 2026.
The move from mildly positive to slightly negative sentiment suggests that companies are becoming more reserved about their current situation and near-term prospects. While the change is not dramatic, it marks a notable shift in mood, as businesses reassess expectations amid an uncertain economic backdrop.
