Thursday 22 October 2009
The Dutch economy came out of recession in the third quarter of this year, according to economists at ING's economic bureau in their monthly bulletin.
The economists say the economy grew 0.3% in the third quarter compared with the second quarter. This is the first positive growth figure in six quarters.
Nevertheless, unemployment has not yet stopped growing and will reach almost 8% next year, the economists said.
