The growing economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China, known as the BRIC countries, offer good opportunities for the Netherlands, according to the government’s macro-economic policy unit CPB.

Trading with these four lands has generated some 100,000 jobs and creates almost 2% of the national income, the CPB says in a new background report.
Economic growth in the four countries has been coupled with a sharp rise in Dutch imports but Dutch exports to Brazil, Russia, India and China are lagging behind, the CPB said.
