Dutch households spent less in February
Dutch households spent 1.1% less on goods and services in February than they did a year ago, the national statistics office CBS said on Tuesday.
In January household spending was down 0.7%.
Spending was down most on consumer durables like fridges and furniture but up on new cars. And domestic gas bills were also higher because of the cold winter, the CBS said.
