Merrill Lynch puts Dutch growth at 2.2%
The Dutch economy will grow 2.2% this year, according to economists from merchant bank Merrill Lynch quoted in the Financieele Dagblad on Friday.
The forecast is well above the 1.5% growth estimate made in December by the government’s macroeconomic think tank CPB. Worldwide, Merrill Lynch puts the growth figure at 4%.
For 2011, Merrill Lynch puts the Dutch growth figure at 2.7%, slightly above the 2.5% forecast for the eurozone as a whole.
