Dutch business confidence collapsed to -14.8 in the second quarter of 2026, representing the lowest level since 2022, according to DutchNews.
The decline reflects the sharpest quarterly drop in four years for the Netherlands' private sector. The contraction signals growing economic uncertainty among Dutch businesses amid broader eurozone pressures.
The figures suggest weakening demand and investment hesitation across the Dutch economy heading into mid-2026.
