ECONOMIC RECOVERY “FRAGILE” IN NETHERLANDS: FIN ANCE MINISTER DIJSSELBLOEM
The recent figures from the Bureau for
Economic Policy Analysis (CPB) show that the
recover after the crisis in The Netherlands is
definite, but “fragile”, Finance Minister Jeroen
Dijsselbloem says. Coalition parties VVD and
PvdA see the recovery as positive as well,
though warn of uncertainties due to the
international situation, the NOS reports.
Minister Dijsselbloem emphasizes that
unemployment is still high, and that the crisis
in Ukraine, as well as the situation in other
countries remain a risk to the Dutch economy.
The Minister says that government finances
are not yet in order, and that a deficit close to
two percent is not an end.
The CPB’s figures will be used by the Cabinet
in the run-up to Prinsjesdag, which is when
the government will make its plans for the
coming year known. Discussions about this
will launch on Monday.
Both coalition parties VVD and PvdA see
improvement, but emphasize that
uncertainties due to the international
situation are still risky. Both parties do
emphasize that there do not need to be
further cuts.
MP for the VVD, Mark Harbers, hopes that the
Cabinet will lessen the burdens, but also
pleads for a “cautious budget.” Harbers
believes that austerity measures should not
be hastily lifted, and that the budget has to be
determined such that the government could
“bear a burden.”
The PvdA believes jobs should be the biggest
priority to come from the recovery.
Spokespersin Nijboer wants attention be paid
especially to those with low- and middle-
incomes.
For the CDA, the CPB’s figures only show how
fragile the coming half-year will be for the
economy. Prudence is the word for party-
leader Buma, and the budget deficit must not
rise further. “We shouldn’t go burning
money.” He wants the government to spend
less, and that the taxes go down, the NOS
writes.
The D66, ChristenUnie and SGP echo that
burdens must be lowered next year, which
should make space for jobs. These parties
also believe that there is no need for more
cuts, though admit that the recovery is fragile.
