AMSTERDAM - Economic growth in the Netherlands will slow in the next two years, as international trade weakens and businesses find it increasingly hard to recruit new staff, the Dutch central bank (DNB) said on Monday.
The Dutch economy will grow by 1.7 percent in 2019 and 2020, after an expected expansion of 2.5 percent this year, the bank said. Tax hikes look set to take inflation up to 2.7 percent next year, before falling to 1.8 percent in 2020.
