In the latest update from the Central Bureau of Statistics, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the Netherlands showed a modest decline to 2.8% in December 2025, continuing a slight downward trajectory from November's 2.9%. This data, updated on January 13, 2026, reflects a year-over-year comparison, indicating a persistent easing in Dutch inflation pressures as the nation steps into the new year.
December's CPI marks a subtle yet important shift as it underscores the country's economic efforts to control inflation. This downward trend provides a positive signal to policymakers and businesses alike, offering a hint of stability amidst broader economic uncertainties faced globally. However, it also warrants cautious optimism as the Dutch economy navigates potential economic challenges going forward.
As the Netherlands reflects on its economic strategies in 2026, maintaining a stable and low inflation rate remains a priority to sustain economic growth and consumer purchasing power. The continuous monitoring of such indicators will be essential as the government plans its fiscal strategies to manage inflation effectively while supporting economic recovery.
