The Dutch economy maintained its growth pace at the end of 2025, with gross domestic product expanding by 1.8% year-over-year in the fourth quarter, unchanged from the 1.8% recorded in the third quarter of 2025. The latest figures, updated on 30 January 2026, indicate a stable growth trajectory rather than an acceleration or slowdown.
On a year-over-year basis, the actual figure for the fourth quarter compares the economy’s performance with the same period a year earlier, mirroring the methodology used in the prior quarter. With both the third and fourth quarters of 2025 showing identical 1.8% annual growth, the data suggest that the Netherlands has entered a phase of consistent, if moderate, expansion heading into 2026.
