Companies invested 4.4% more in March than in the same month a year earlier. More money has been invested in buildings and passenger cars in particular, reports the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS).
According to Statistics Netherlands, the extent to which companies are willing to invest has to do with the situation in the sales markets. The performance of the financial markets also influences the willingness to invest, according to the statistics office. According to Statistics Netherlands, the figures have not been corrected for working days. However, March of this year had the same number of working days as last year.
Statistics Netherlands also reports that, according to entrepreneurs, investment conditions are less unfavorable in April than in March. This was mainly due to the fact that year-over-year growth in exports was higher.
