Consumer spending growth in the Netherlands slowed modestly at the end of 2025, signaling a small loss of momentum in household demand. According to data updated on 6 February 2026, Dutch consumer spending increased by 0.8% in December 2025, down from 0.9% in November 2025.
While the shift is marginal, the deceleration suggests that Dutch households became slightly more cautious in their outlays as the year drew to a close. Analysts and market participants will be watching upcoming releases closely to see whether this softening in consumption proves temporary or marks the start of a more sustained cooling in domestic demand.
