The Dutch economy maintained its growth pace in the fourth quarter of 2025, with gross domestic product (GDP) expanding by 0.5% quarter-on-quarter, unchanged from the 0.5% increase recorded in the third quarter of 2025. The latest figures, updated on 30 January 2026, indicate that economic activity in the Netherlands continued to grow at a stable rate at the end of the year.
On a quarter-over-quarter basis, the “actual” reading for the fourth quarter compares the change in GDP to the previous quarter, while the “previous” figure reflects how GDP in the third quarter evolved from the second quarter of 2025. With both periods showing identical 0.5% growth, the data suggests that the Dutch economy neither accelerated nor slowed in late 2025, pointing to a period of consistent, moderate expansion.
This stability may be significant for policymakers and investors, as it signals that the growth trajectory remained intact through the end of the year. However, without further breakdown by sector or additional indicators, the underlying drivers of this steady performance remain unspecified in the current release.
