The three parties in talks on forming a minority government in the Netherlands have just one week to go before their self-imposed deadline is reached.

Party leaders Rob Jetten (D66), Dilan Yesilgöz (VVD) and Henri Bontenbal (CDA) pledged to present a coalition agreement by the end of January and are still in talks on the next cabinet’s financial plans, the Volkskrant reported on Sunday.

“We’ve made a lot of progress,” Jetten, who is poised to become the next prime minister, said on Saturday. “But unfortunately, we are not yet done.”

The three parties hope to have agreed on the financial framework by Tuesday, so that senior party officials, civil servants and the government’s macroeconomic forecasting agency, the CPB, can assess the plans before they are made public.

Once the coalition agreement has been published, the parties aim to complete the ministerial line-up within a further three weeks.

Jetten will become prime minister as leader of the largest party, and Yesilgöz is also expected to take up a cabinet role, possibly at the defence ministry. Bontenbal is likely to remain in parliament as party leader.

Earlier, February 23 was penciled in as the date for the presentation of the new ministerial line-up to the king.
