Dutch Q1 GDP Growth Beats Estimates

The Dutch economy advanced 0.5 percent on quarter in the three months to March 2019, the same as in the previous period and beating market expectations of 0.4 percent, a preliminary estimate showed. Growth was mainly driven by fixed investment which offset a negative foreign demand.

Household consumption growth slowed to 0.1 percent from 0.5 percent in the last quarter of 2018; and fixed investment rose 2.1 percent, easing from 4.0 percent expansion in the prior quarter. Also, government spending went up 0.5 percent, the same as in the fourth quarter of 2018. In addition, net external demand contributed negatively to the GDP growth as imports rose 1.6 percent (vs -1.1 percent in Q4) and exports increased at a softer 0.8 percent (-1.6 percent in Q4). 

Year-on-year, the economy  expanded 1.7 percent, slowing from a 2.2 percent growth in the previous period. It was the weakest growth rate since the last quarter of 2015, as private consumption eased to 0.7 percent from 2.2 percent in Q4. Also, net foreign demand contributed negatively to the GDP growth, as imports rose 1.6 percent (vs 1.1 percent in Q4) and exports advanced at a slower 1.1 percent (vs 1.5 percent in Q4). Meanwhile, government spending expanded 1.2 percent, faster than a 0.8 percent growth in the prior period and fixed investment went up 4.5 percent (vs 4.4 percent in Q4).
