For Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, Dialogic examined the strengths and weaknesses of the Dutch business climate. We not only looked at the climate for foreign companies establishing themselves in the Netherlands (business climate), but also at the investment climate in the Netherlands for all companies. This determines the extent to which it is attractive for the private sector to invest in the Netherlands.
In the analysis, we compared the Netherlands with various competing countries. These include the United States and nine countries in Northwestern Europe. It emerges that in a generic sense, the Netherlands ranks roughly in the top three with respect to the investment climate compared to our ten main competitors. We compete for top positions with Switzerland, Denmark, and to a lesser extent, Sweden. Looking at the three focus areas and eight sub-areas, the position of the Netherlands varies significantly in these areas: sometimes we are a frontrunner, sometimes not. The report provides an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the Netherlands in each area. Generally speaking, the Netherlands scores lower in these specific areas than in the generic investment climate. Improvement of the investment climate in focus and sub-areas will have to result from very specific policies. Further research into specific aspects of a sub-area is required to understand how the investment climate can be improved there.
The research report was presented to the House of Representatives on June 1st. Read the relevant chamber letter here and download the report here.
