According to data released by the Netherlands Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) on the 23rd, affected by reduced gas consumption, Dutch household consumption expenditure fell by 0.1% year-on-year in April, continuing the downward trend in the previous three months. Among them, expenditures on food, beverages and tobacco products increased by 3.2%, expenditures on durable consumer goods such as clothing and automobiles increased by 3.8%, and service expenditures also increased by 0.9%. Other household consumption expenditures, including gas expenses, fell by 11.4% year-on-year. Monitoring shows that producers’ confidence in the employment situation has declined, and consumers have become more pessimistic about their financial situation, leading to a deterioration in the Dutch household consumption environment in June.
